We got a trickle of CFC members out of the deal and it was something new for the CFC at the time. ICC was happy with the program but the CFC discontinued the program after I was voted off the Executive in 2005.

I think this is something we should be doing - but you have to come to the table with resources. I do not know if the CFC can offer a tournament series or heaven forbid a Canadian League that would play on the server and be CFC rated.
I, and some other "too busy to play OTB often" intermediate players ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE ICC CFC-ACTIVE-RATED SERIES !
