I would like to have a FIDE Arbiter Training session at the Canadian Open. The CFC Annual Meeting is on Monday and Tuesday and the Training will be on Wed, Thursday and Friday.

FIDE seminars to have new FIDE arbiters have only been obligatory since July 1st when the rules were changed.

http://www.fide.com/FIDE/handbook/RegsTrainChessArbiters.pdf

Basically: Philosophy of arbiting, Chess Rules, tournament rules, FIDE rating system, FIDE title system, Swiss pairings, tiebreaks, chess clocks ...
Highly recommended to read Chess Rules, Title Rules and Rating Rules before the seminar. The seminar isn't for beginners in general and one needs 80% in the final examination to pass.

FIDE requires the training to be registred 4 months in advance.

We're looking for 10 interested people to make it a go. The costs, mainly to bring Stephen Boyd from France, will be under $2,000. So for 10 students will cost $200 each.

Please contact me if you know anybody who is interested.
