    If this motion and no other is passed, no formula is included in the motion.

    If this motion and no other is passed we continue using the current formula: (top FIDE + top CFC) / 2.

    I agree with you, Ken. The wording could be better. It's very difficult to prepare to all 64 (2 in power of 6) possible results of the voting.

    It should have been one motion. To which people could have made amendments.

    Wasn't there a requirement for selected players to play a minimum number of games in a specified time prior to selection? I can remember a discussion where I suggested that players who are selected should play a minimum number games in Canada.

    I don’t think that this proposal negates that one (minimum games, FIDE, CFC or FQE) which passed as I recall. Minimum games in Canada never made it into a motion and I believe that it would be the death knell to achieving strong results like the one we had last Olympiad.

    OK. I missed that these motions did not cover the entire criteria for selection.

    Could someone help to post the rest of the criteria for selection? I would guess they are in the CFC handbook, but the CFC site is down.
