We are 3 for 5 now,

Canadian Open, CYCC, and Canadian Junior in the hopper,

but we still have the Canadian Closed and Women's Closed to go.

FIDE has advised us the deadline for the closed is now May 31st.

FIDE has advised us the deadline for the closed is now May 31st.

May you clarify - May 31 - is it the final date of the Closed tournament?

[Bob Armstrong]

Hi Egis:

I'm not sure, but it may be the date by which Canada must submit the name of the Zonal representative in the FIDE World Cup. But Bob G will have to clarify.

What's the projected deadline for the Women's Championship?

What's the projected deadline for the Women's Championship?

At the moment the Open (Men's) & Women's FIDE events the winner's qualify for are in opposite years. So any bid for a Women's would have to specify if it was a Zonal event. I can't see the Women's Zonal taking place before the summer

We're really caught short on the Men's now that FIDE has moved the timing of the World Cup.

Yeah well you know how good FIDE is on the subject of advising member federations...

I may be somewhat out-of-touch, but I have not seen any mention of the Canadian Junior. When and where was this decided? When and where will it be held?
Dates for such tournaments ought to be made available well in advance to all who organise other junior events, in order to avoid compounding problems of conflicting dates.

Chris,
