<office@fide.com>FIDE Circuit 2024: Reminder to the tournament organizers
Dear member federations,
This is a reminder that the regulations of the current FIDE Circuit contain the following rule:...
Hal Bond has brought it to our attention that there has been a change in the rules for NAYCC requiring the tournament to be held over six days rather than the traditional five days. We are in the...
Tournament Details:
The Atlantic Chess Association is organizing the Independence Day Norm Tournament.
It is a 6 day, 11 rounds, 12 player Round Robin tournament. Lesser title norms (IM,WGM, WIM,...
You could infer that but your logic would be twisted into a pretzel. I pay close attention to legal precedents. The legal action would not be baseless. Someone had to pay close to $200,000 for a...
You supported someone who made an untrue statement on Facebook and the CFC forum that made you and her seem ridiculous to everyone who knew anything about the situation. That statement by the other...
The final decision on which bid will be accepted rests with the CFC board of directors and the CCA (FIDE America) as the CFC may accept a bid but the CCA can still reject it. There are no plans for...
Not necessarily. Sometimes I speak on behalf of myself. Sometimes I speak on behalf of the CFC. You have withdrawn your bid so it is not relevant any more. People do not get to mischaracterize...
We are talking to the U.S. often and productively.
Even if everyone shows up you are only paying 60%. It used to be 100% so the balance on this question at least has shifted in favour of the...
Clearly everyone that I have talked to about NAYCC was informed that we thought that a substantial payment to the youth fund was warranted. You cannot claim that such elements of your bid are...
If someone submits a bid that is so good that we don't need to consider organizing it ourselves then we would not consider organizing it ourselves. In fact, I believe that has happened.
From now...
From your point of view my behaviour is appalling because I declined to favour your bid above all others and allow you to submit a bid without any other bidders. If that is appalling then we have a...
This is what happens when you do things in the evening when you are tired. Deadline is May 4th, 2024.
Any bidders interested in hosting NAYCC 2025 will need to submit their bids to the CFC within six weeks or by May 4th. Acceptance of any bid will be at the discretion of the CFC. Any bid should...
Thank you to everyone who participated in this meeting. I was happy to see the results of the poll with regard to the unprecedented situation with regard to the individual taking pictures of young...
I think going forward we should create a Reports discussion thread if we want the reports to be separate from discussion of the reports. I think we have always allowed such discussion but separating...
The CFC is not panicking. My blood sugars and blood pressures have returned to normal after the excitement surrounding the Candidates. They were not normal during that crisis but I wouldn't...
I think we want to start with UCMMS because it is a made in Canada solution. The Canadian Olympic Committee makes resources available including legal advisors for federations to implement this...
In 2016, after many contacts with potential organizers and in some cases even thinking we had an organizer for the tournaments we found ourselves in September 2015 not having organizers for the 2016...
That is true for Canadian tournaments sanctioned by the CFC. This is a tournament sanctioned by CCA (FIDE America). The situation is more complicated than a normal event which the CFC controls.
What I saw from U.S. Chess a few months ago was a document that did not define its terms, which could be a big problem when you try to enforce it. They may have come up with new and better...
This is the nice thing about keeping all your emails. When there is doubt about what was said,... Can we agree that the email below clearly states that we might be bidding and there are multiple...
As I said previously to the FQE and to the CFC Board of directors we are not interested in any "divorce" from the FQE as relations have been quite good. A situation where some or all of the Quebec...
I don't expect to have much free time over the course of the next month. Christina will not have much free time over the course of the next month. I would hope that we would have a decision in two...
On September 20th, 2023 your group asked for a 30 day option to prepare a bid for NAYCC. There was a flurry of emails and after several months I asked where the bid was. In the very first email of...
