A discussion has been requested regarding Ontario Open bidding.

I'd personally like to suggest a deadline of October 1st of the year prior for a formal bid to be received from the league whose turn it is to run the Open. If a bid is received by this deadline and it meets the norms of the event (as in, an Open tournament run on Victoria Day weekend and CFC rated at minimum) then it is accepted.

If no acceptable bid is received by the deadline, all leagues will be invited to put in a bid with a deadline of say November 15th. If there are competing bids from this process they will be voted on by the Governors no later than November 30th.

Thoughts? If you like it we'll need an actual incoming Governor to make the actual motion.
