Revised motion 5B3:
The formula uses the FIDE rating only as a base for the team if the average FIDE rating of top-5 eligible players is above 2300. The formula uses the average FIDE and CFC rating as a base for the team if the average FIDE rating of top-5 eligible players is below or equal 2300. Any number is rounded to the nearest 1. 0.5 is rounded to 1. If 2 or more players have the same total number then the younger age will be used as the tie-breaker.
Reason to reconsider: Eliminate possible gender discrimination complains.
Revised motion 5B4:
Bonuses for performance in the last Canadian Closed or last Canadian Women, respectively, that took place 5-36 months prior to the Olympiad and that has not been used as qualification for a previous Olympiad:
+10 points if player played all rounds of Canadian Closed
+20 points for third place
+30 points for second place
This bonus will be added to any base rating number (last rating, average rating or highest rating).
Reason to reconsider: remove connotation of penalizing players not participated in the Canadian Closed or Canadian Women.
