Thread: Official protest to the CYCC organizers

    Default Official protest to the CYCC organizers

    I have sent an email to the CYCC organizers protesting about a player playing in the U18 section.

    On the preregistered list the player is listed in the U16 Open
    http://www.windsorchess.com/CYCC2015/list.php#u16o

    With a CFC rating of 2211 he is 10th on the latest U16 list (which doesn't include 3 Quebec players rated above him).
    http://chess.ca/players?player_search_age=16

    For some reasons he was allowed to play up in the U18 http://www.chess-results.com/tnr180020.aspx?lan=1 instead of U16 http://www.chess-results.com/tnr178963.aspx?lan=1

    The CFC rules regarding CYCC allow to play up in CYCC http://chess.ca/handbook#section-7 section 708
    {Motion Bunning/Taylor in 2002-3 GL1 From AGM}:
    The Executive may allow exceptional players to move up to a higher age group.

    My questions are:
    1. How is the player an exceptional player if he is rated 13th in his age group?
    2. Why was he preregistered in the U16 and then allowed to play in the U18 without any announcement? The U18 players found out about this after the 1st round pairings were posted.
    3. Is CFC going to pay for his WYCC trip if he comes 1st or if he comes 2nd and the winner declines to go?

    I think he realized he has better chances to qualifies to WYCC if he plays in the U18 (only IM Richard Wang is better rated than him) and switched from U16 to U18 in the last moment. Whoever allowed him to play up did a mistake and insulted all U16 players who are playing tough games to qualify to WYCC.

    I've already replied to this on Chess Talk. Continuing to flog this while the tournament is in progress, shows poor judgement on your part, at least in my opinion.
