1) with the CYCC organizer's approval (should exercise extreme care in such approvals),
2) remitting a fee that is not less than the provincial qualifying tournament entry fee, split 50/50 between the CFC (goes to the Junior Fund) and the provincial federation (goes to the Junior Fund if one exists).
