Hi,
I confirm Excelsior Chess Club bid for 2024 Canadian Closed.
Thank you,
Nick Oancea
I have looked at the bid again. It could use some budget information and proposed prize funds and expenses based on different numbers of players. I like the idea of allowing 2000 rated players to play but I am likely in the minority on that point. if you keep that in, I might try to play.
I wish BCCF would make a determination first on which Vancouver area bid to submit. I hope that BC gets the Canadian Open since it’s been a while since it was held there but now their votes might be divided.
Could any one show me a time-machine room
" Bids for 2022/2023 Events"

Boy, this could go down a rat hole quickly.
For my education - where are the rules of bidding formally published/documented?
Per an earlier comment, unless it is documented in the official rules, I would not think it is the place of a regional group (i.e., BCCF) to prune national bid submissions.
Thanks, Don

The only thing I found is what to consider in evaluating bids (in section 6):

I agree with you, the two organizers choose to submit separate bids, they should each be considered on the merit.
Cheers,

We have two brilliant offers from Vancouver and it has been a long time since Vancouver hosted a Canadian Open. I agree with Vlad's decision to require the winning bid to get 51% of the votes, using a second vote if necessary. This is a better solution than asking the BCCF to pare down the proposals.
