Thanks for the feedback Roger. Michael and Bob are the ones who produced the motion so obviously they do not agree with me, or the CFC handbook. I'm sure there is a parent out there wanting to get their kid into the CYCC without the residency requirement. Who else wants the go against the fide eligibility requirements?
Of course the CYCC winners are declared the Canadian Champion, and the designation Champion is used to identify the official representative to the WYCC.
But really, I don't care which it is and I agree that I, and people like me (which would include most of the governors and specifically the people who drafted this motion), should stay out of what is properly the concern of junior chess organizers / players. I ask only because I'm interested in what the consensus view of people is of the CYCC.
I appreciate your sentiments. If this discussion were limited to Chief Organizers of the CYCC, or even organizers of just 6 Junior tournaments a year it would lilkely be over before it started.
What does Patrick MacDonald think of this idea? Should we not have the recommendation of the Youth Coordinator before trying to implement fundamental changes to the CFC Youth Program?
Maybe this is a symptom of a problem within the CFC? Why not let the people who are doing the job decide the best way to get it done?
