28f. CYCC Qualification rules - Gillanders amendment

[Bob Gillanders]

Lyle or me, please post motion here, ASAP

[Bob Gillanders]

I previously suggested this motion on thread 28. I haven't seen any discussion, but I will present it here again.

Motion: Bob Gillanders (mover), Stuart Brammall (seconder)

To amend section 1003 of the CFC Handbook:
"1003. Players: {Motion 2009-13 2009 AGM Nadeau/Lavin}
The following players shall be eligible to participate in each Youth Tournament provided they comply with the formal entry requirements of Article 1007:
(a) The qualifiers from that year's YCC's.
(b) The qualifiers from the CYCC to the WYCC of the previous year.
(c) The highest rating of each age category {open & female} of each Province {as of May 1st prior to the CYCC}
(d) The host organizer may nominate three players for each category from the host location. {Amendment of Original Motion Barron/Langer}"

by adding the clause:

(f) where there is no provincial qualifier, up to 3 players may be qualified at the discretion of the provincial youth coordinator. In the absence of a Provincial Co-ordinator, players would apply to the CFC Youth Co-ordinator.


Comments:
I want to allow kids from smaller provinces, where perhaps there is no active youth coordinator, a qualification rule so that we don't leave them behind.

Is anyone willing to second this motion.

IMPORTANT: I do not mean for this motion to replace any of the other motions. They all have merit. I recommend you vote yes to them all.

My motto is: Leave no kid behind! Let them play.

Is that 3 players in total or three players in each category ?

[Bob Gillanders]

I meant 3 players in total per province.
Given the very low historical attendance from smaller provinces, I thought that was enough. The idea is to catch some budding superstar who may live in a remote area with little access to organized chess.

[Fred McKim]

Your second sentence should probably be reworded, as it's a bit informal....

In the absence of a Provincial Co-ordinator, players would apply to .....

[Bob Gillanders]

Thanks Fred. I changed it, better now.

I would also find apply to CFC Youth Coordinator as acceptable.

[Fred McKim]

I would think the CFC Youth Co-ordinator would be more appropriate.

[Stuart Brammall]

I'll second this--

[Bob Armstrong]

Nice procedural move guys - you're not amending a filed motion, without vote of the assembly, you're still just " drafting a motion " to be filed at some future date, when agreed upon !

I would think the CFC Youth Co-ordinator would be more appropriate.

Than the change is needed in the constitution too.

"YOUTH COORDINATOR

8B. The Youth Coordinator will be responsible for coordinating our participation in the World Junior Championship, the World Girls Championship, the WYCC, the Pan-American Junior and Youth Championships, The North American Junior and Youth Championships, the World Youth Chess Olympiad, and any other FIDE-related junior tournaments. The Youth Coordinator will be responsible for finding organizers for the Canadian Junior Championship and the Canadian Youth Chess Championships, and for assisting the Provincial Junior Coordinators in finding organizers for the Youth Chess Championships, and any Regional Qualifier Youth Chess Championships.
