Dear President Drkulec, Executives and Voting Members,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee for Guelph-2025, I wish to thank you in advance for your consideration.
First, I wish to highlight a possible conflict of interest on my part. While being on the organizing committee, I am also a VM. I am kindly asking you to rule on this topic.
Second, to clarify the question of expenses, we are committing to a MINIMUM 100% of entry fees to the Open be returned as a prize fund. No mistake in this statement! Yes, that could be as much as $100,000 with 400 players.
Our model and plan is that all expenses be paid by corporate sponsorships, in kind, donations and public contribution. For over a year, we have been doing our home work and we are hoping to change how important Chess events in Canada be organized.
This Committee has over 120 years commutative chess playing and organizing. In addition, it includes past CFC President and past CFC Executive Director and past CFC Youth Coordinator. We hope you support our bid. Meanwhile, we invite you to voice any question you may have.
Sincerely,
Mahmud
