Thank you Michael for your kind words.

With regard to Team Captains, I expect that we will follow the handbook:

d) Acceptance of players:

Players who agree to participate on the Team shall notify the CFC of their participation no later than 120 days before the start of the Olympiad.

e) Nominations for Team Captains:

All nominations for Team Captains shall be submitted no later than 105 days before the start of the Olympiad.

f) Election of Team Captains:

The players shall submit their votes for Team Captains no later than 90 days before the start of the Olympiad.


To the extent that I can influence the process, I believe we should strive to have our delegation named ASAP in order for our membership to rally behind our teams.
