        Three Canadian girls (Qiyu Zhou, Maili-Jade Ouellet, Jezzel Farkas) and two boys (Aiden Zhou, Nameer Issani) maintain a perfect score of 2/2 after two rounds of the 2015 WYCC. Congratulations. Everyone else is still pretty much in the mix. Go Team Canada!

            The USCF site features this article and a photo. Sasha Konovalenko, a dual U.S.-Canadian citizen who played in all CYCCs through 2014, chose to represent the USA on the world stage.

              CAN results

              Round 1 - 18 points out of 56 (32%)
              Round 2 - 26/56 (46%)

              After two rounds - 44/112 (39%)
              There are 64 players on the Canadian team. I suspect you missed the "show complete list" button at the bottom of the list.

              Adding the results of the bottom six to your numbers, I get
              Day 1 20/64 = 31%
              Day 2 30/64 = 47%
              so far 50/128 = 39%

                  Will subsequent entries have the correct year in the title?

                      Re: WYCC 2015 under way

                      Okay, so the corrected numbers make us 18 + 26 = 44/112 = 39%

                      You were right first time. I'll go watch foorball on TV, all I'm good for, apparently. <slinks off to wrest remote from wife>

                            Nah, I ain't that dumb. There were 58 players originally, + 6 coaches, and I remember thinking, that's a promising total. Janet Peng and (I think) Joey Zhong couldn't make it, and even if we add Victoria as HOD that's only 63 total. Maybe we could recruit the janitor, or something.
