I missed John Upper's name from the Technology, Website and Entry fees committee. THis committee will be responsible for the tournament's website as well as enabling participants to register and pay for there entry fees online, probably using an intermediatry such as PayPal. This method was used very successfully by registrants for the 2007 Canadian Open held in Ottawa.
Yes. This sounds like a great proposal !!
I know the Closed has not run every year however now that Continentals are running every year there is an even stronger argument for doing so. In the non-WCC years it would still qualify two players to Continentals - on top of providing norms and titles.

Congratulations Les! This looks very promising.
Regarding the CYCC dates - it will be difficult to complete the tournament in 3 days. Could the tournament start on July 9? It would take some of the sting out of the Friday-Saturday transition.
This is a great news.
