    Two enquiries overnight from parents have been forwarded to CFC executive.
    Any players wishing to represent Canada at the NAYCC in Mexico, please forward email to CFC office ASAP.
    Looks like organizers have been found at the eleventh hour, which happens way too often. :(

      I can't overlook the fact that the official representatives get free accommodation, based on quadruple occupancy in a $60 US /night hotel (and no meal)... How generous from the organizers...

        Official players are bunked four to a room according to the tournament flyer. There may be some questions about security as well. Then again I am a bit of a worrier about such things.

          Any news on the Pan Am YCC which is to be held in Bogota I believe?

            I have not seen anything and I am usually on the mailing list for such events or the office usually informs me and Frank Lee as soon as they get something. A quick google search turns up nothing concrete except a listing from the FIDE calendar.

              A search for "Torneo Panamericano de Ajedrez de la Juventud" led to some useful info:

              It looks like it's no longer set for Bogotá, but Cali. Official players must be registered by May 22, others by June 12.

                  I'm wondering how many US or Canadian players will venture to Cali

                    Article says 6th highest murder rate in the world. Wikipedia says its only 9th. By contrast, Durban is only ranked 38th.

                    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...by_murder_rate

                    Well, at least accommodations in Cali are based upon triple occupancy! Better than the quad occupancy offered in Mexico City.

                      It would really be nice if they held some of these junior events in nice safe places for a change.
