        Re: The final rating list for the National Team

        The Olympiad starts on September 23, 2018 in Batumi, Georgia. The first important date is/was 180 days before the event - i.e. March 27.

        From the CFC Handbook:

        "a) Appointment of Selection Committee:
        The CFC Executive shall appoint a Selection Committee (905) no later than 180 days before the start of the Olympiad."

        Since it is now less than 180 days before the event, we should know the names of the Selection Committee. I have seen nothing posted either on Chesstalk nor on the CFC discussion board. By April 11, their selections will supposedly have been made.

        Here are the selection details:

        "905. The Selection Committee

        The CFC Executive shall appoint a Selection Committee consisting of three well known and respected individuals who are of at least master strength and have knowledge of the Canadian chess community. [Motion 2012-V Barron/Zeromskis]

        a) The Selection Committee shall be appointed no later than 180 days before the start of the Olympiad.
        b) The Selection Committee shall select three players to be eligible for the National Team in a ranked order and three players to be eligible for the Women's team in a ranked order, taking into account the players' recent results, potential for improvement and such other factors as they consider relevant. These selections shall be made no later than 165 days before the start of the Olympiad. [Motion 2011L Bluvshtein/Zeromskis; amended by McDonald/von Keitz]
        c) [Motion 2004-05 GL6 Harper/Feng] Neither member of the Selection Committee may play for the Canadian National Team in the Olympiad in question.

        906. Selection of the players

        a) Eligibility: Players are eligible to play on a Canadian Team if they are:

        i) A Canadian Citizen or a permanent resident of Canada. Proof of status must be provided to the CFC Executive when a player accepts a position on a Team.
        ii) A member in good standing of the CFC and the affiliated provincial association in the province of residence (if one exists) at the time of selection.
        iii) Have played at least 10 regular CFC rated or FIDE rated games during the year prior to the start of the selection process (which begins 180 days before the start of the Olympiad).

        b) National Team: [Motion Smith/Jaeger 2007-08 GL6, amendment of original Craver/Gillanders motion] The National Team shall consist of five players, as follows:

        i) The Canadian Champion, as of 180 days before the start of the Olympiad.
        ii) The three highest rated players on the Selection Rating List.
        iii) One player decided upon by the Selection Committee."

        Next date is 165 days before the event (April 11).

        "b) Selection of Players:
        The composition of the Teams shall be determined by rating (907) and the Selection Committee no later than 165 days before the start of the Olympiad."

        150 days before (April 26).

        "c) Notification of players:
        Players selected for the Teams shall be notified by the CFC Executive no later than 150 days before the start of the Olympiad."

        120 days before (May 26):

        "d) Acceptance of players:
        Players who agree to participate on the Team shall notify the CFC of their participation no later than 120 days before the start of the Olympiad."

        105 days before (June 10):

        "e) Nominations for Team Captains:
        All nominations for Team Captains shall be submitted no later than 105 days before the start of the Olympiad."

        90 days before (June 25):

        "f) Election of Team Captains:
        The players shall submit their votes for Team Captains no later than 90 days before the start of the Olympiad."

        75 days before (July 10):

        "g) Appointment of Head of Delegation:
        The CFC Executive shall appoint the Head of Delegation no later than 75 days before the start of the Olympiad."

          CFC Handbook is not updated. Big part of it is absolutely not relevant.

            Could you (or someone) post (or a link) to the most recent Olympiad selection process?

              From my experience, usually:

              1. CFC executive sends an invitation to top-5 players from the list above and gives some time to players to accept or decline.

              2. If somebody declines, next in the line is contacted.

              I believe, in a few weeks we will know the line-up of the National Team.

              The final list for the Women Team will be published around Apr 20. According to rules, the last known CFC rating should be taken into account. With weekly updates of the CFC rating, it should be Apr 18 or Apr 19. The whole process (invitation to top 5 - accept/decline - next in the line) is the same for Women Team also.
