It is unlikely that chess organizers can afford private COVID testing (which would not be covered under most Canadian provincial health plans) unless we double tournament entry fees.

It is just crazy to think that we can add a whole layer of COVID regulation information and keep track of the health requirements all across Canada. What happens if the requirements change and we didn't update our website? Then someone gets COVID because they relied on our bad information.

As the old Clint Eastwood movie aphorism went, "A man's got to know his limitations." The same holds true for an organization.

In a perfect world, we would have unlimited resources and we could be all things to all people. In the real world, our resources including volunteers and employees are limited. We don't have an AI that can monitor the internet for changes in government (federal, provincial and local) COVID requirements. There are government websites that already do that for us. Consult them.
