There are a couple of corner view rooms with King bed and pull out couch left in the entire hotel. When they are gone the hotel is completely full. These rooms can be booked at a chess rate of...
:eek:The CYCC hotel is filling up quickly. The last of the 2 queen bed rooms will be booked today. Reserve now if you want to secure a place at the center of the action.

Thanks for letting me know. Our volunteers are working on getting the full qualifiers list posted. I will make sure it gets on the website in the next 24 hrs, along with the round schedule.
I'll...
We recently ran a G60 junior tournament with three sections, U1500, U1200 and U800. Only the U1500 kids used the time wisely. They completed 3 games in an 8 hour day. The U1200 kids completed 5 games...
Thanks for the details Bob.
It is a refreshing change to have clear answers to simple questions.
In hindsight it seems to me the the CFC Youth Fund should not be paying $1,200 in credit card...
One reason the CFC continues to score failing grades is that the majority of the CFC Governors know nothing about Youth Chess. Most could care less and some wish youth chess would just go away. I...
Thanks for the Youth Fund financials.
It is nice to have a clear accounting for a change.
I have only 2 questions;
What was the $1,200 in credit card costs?
Why did the CFC give CYCC 2011...
That's not what I said and its seems to miss the point. I agree that Tie breaks are best applied to players that are tied.:)
It makes no difference which player it is calculated for. That...
Yes, The ratings based "Performance of Opposition" calculation sums the ratings of all opponents, adds 400 for each win and subtracts 400 for each loss. The resulting average per game is the event...
Now this is more like the discussion I expected. :)
Tie breaks are like desserts, everyone has their favourite, and nothing is unanimous.
Again the purpose of this motion is to introduce computer...
For what it's worth Les that's how the program works in BC. All proceeds from the BCYCC go into registration fees for CYCC.
I agree that the CFC should manage the Youth Fund with a long term...
The order of tie breaks is a recommendation, not a prescription. Under this wording you could choose the solution that best fits your situation.
The wording for play offs to determine the...
I agree. A formal youth committee would be much more effective than the ad hoc committee we now have.
In an ideal CFC there would be a committee of Provincial Coordinators who would work with the...
Hi Patrick,
I do not disagree on what the CYCC should be, and certainly won't argue against the fact that the CYCC winners are declared Canadian Champions for their age groups.
That doesn't...
The purpose of this amendment is to open the door for computer tie breaks and to help organizers stay on schedule. Proposing play offs for all WYCC qualifying positions is exactly the opposite, and...
I agree with your observations Fred. The problem of pegging a junior's skill level with a rating is challenged by the the moving target aspects. It's hard enough to get an accurate rating of a static...
It sounds to me like you have the target in sight. :cool:
You know the numbers.
Extrapolating backwards through your data set you can determine with confidence that these players were 100 points...
The results from Ontario are very good. I believe it was something like 204 of the 237 players at CYCC 2011 were from Ontario. :D Is this a sign of renewed CFC youth activity in Ontario or a tribute...
Sorry to disagree Michael, but you should know CFC rule 1001 states the CYCC IS to determine the Canadian representatives to WYCC. Unless and until your rule change is passed it will remain so. This...
I agree Ellen,
CYCC is first and foremost the qualifier to determine Canada's representatives to the WYCC. Any rule change that allows players into CYCC who are not eligible for WYCC is just...
No, kids will not buy CFC active ratings. In BC I know there is constant pressure, or competition for event ratings. Our players have a choice between CFC, CMA NWSRS and various house ratings.
The...
I would be interested in seeing the statistical analysis behind this story. How was it shown conclusively that the problem is "Under Rated Juniors". I am sceptical. I work with about 600 kids a year...
I do not not argue against the merits of establishing the tie break before the event, although that was not a requirement of 1010 previously.
In practise Tie breaks have been announced before the...
