NAYCC 2025 Bids May 4 deadline for submission of bids to CFC

[Vladimir Drkulec]

Any bidders interested in hosting NAYCC 2025 will need to submit their bids to the CFC within six weeks or by May 4th. Acceptance of any bid will be at the discretion of the CFC. Any bid should include some provision to support the CFC youth fund. Bidders shall be required to provide a detailed budget of revenues, expenses and expected profits. FIDE America or the CCA is the sanctioning body and each bidder will need to provide approximately $20 USD to the CCA per player. Your local tourism bureau will be able to assist you in creating the bid and may provide some subsidy. With proper marketing, the tournament should attract approximately 300 to 450 players or more.

There are requirements for the organizers to provide a total of up to 36 official players (twelve each for each of the three countries of Canada, U.S. and Mexico as well as heads of delegation for each delegation) an allowance for food and accommodation. You will need to provide 60% of the cost of accommodation based on double occupancy according to the latest regulations. There are also requirements that players with rights (last year's champions) will also be provided with food and accommodation. Detailed requirements can be found on the CCA website. Bids have to be submitted to CCA by the CFC. You cannot apply directly. You should have an international arbiter in order to be able to run this tournament as there are direct titles awarded to the winners and runners up.

You can contact the CFC if you would like more details.

Competition rules can be found on the FIDE America website below.

Bids should be sent to CFC Secretary Lyle Craver.
