Hi Hal/Fred:
I agree with Egis - I don't recognize this term.
Is a tournament playing fee going to be acceptable? Or are you trying to prohibit it for FIDE-rated events?

The TPF was originally referred to as a tournament passport.Quote:

What are we doing here?
Is this motion an accommodation for the CFC/FQE agreement?
If you used Firefox as a browser, switch to other one (chome, IE) just to read the Handbook. The issue is with a very huge handbook file and Firefox inability to handle huge files.Quote:

As for the motion:
http://www.chess.ca/membership-rates talks about "Non-member tournament fees"
If the motion would pass, the mentioned webpage should be updated too, and the somewhere a description of the Passport must be given.
The motion clarifies that someone can play in a FIDE rated event with a tournament membership (yes, yes, I know this isn't the right name .... but we are all having trouble coming up with an acceptable one - on the CFC web site membership page, I called it a non-member tournament fee).
How many Non-member tournament fees did we collect last year? How many of those were in FIDE rated tournaments.
I do not see the usefulness of the motion because nobody can play a CFC rated tournament without a membership and all FIDE rated competitions must also be CFC rated.
Do we want to say that a Canadian player cannot play in a FIDE rated tournament anywhere in the world without a CFC membership?
Technically this is actually a FIDE rule, that someone must be a member in good standing of their national federation.Quote:
