Re: NAYCC final standings
Would it be possible to list the winners along with their country. -
Re: NAYCC final standings
I can extract the winners for each section, but the incoming data was extremely poor, and the only way to know each player's country is to look them up, one at a time. It must have been a nightmare for Aris and Brian trying to imput registration data into Swiss-sys.Comment

Re: NAYCC final standings
Thanks for the supportive words John! Back to Fred, the standings John posted are after the tiebreaks, so the first three in each section are the title/norm winners.Originally posted by John Coleman View Post
I'll be compiling a formal report for FIDE which I can also post here, but I'm travelling and playing this weekend, so that will likely take a few days from my end.
In addition to John and the awesome Arbiter team, thanks also to Vlad, Chau, Christina, Isabella, and all the rest of the very conscientious Windsor volunteers!
Finally, HUGE TIPS OF HAT to Brian and Hal for all their teamwork!Comment

Re: NAYCC final standings
Indeed this year's organizers, Vlad and the team of volunteers did a great job in hosting the tournament. A good 350 participants and a great job by the arbiters, Hal Bond/Aris M/Brian Clark/Andrew P and others made a wonderful tournament. At the end of it, most of the kids were delighted to receive the certificate of participation and the mug.Originally posted by Aris Marghetis View Post
Thank you for the job well done!Last edited by Gary Hua; Saturday, 13th August, 2016, 09:01 AM.Comment

Re: NAYCC final standings
Final thank yous for NAYCC. From my point of view Tina Wakeford and Sue Heath at Caesars Windsor and the whole staff who treated us like royalty throughout all three tournaments made the whole series of tournaments possible. Thank you to Jason Toner and everyone at Tourism WIndsor Essex Pelee Island for their generous support. Christina Tao, Mayuri and Mridushyam Talukdar, Zoltan Kiraly and Victoria Doknjas were essential members of the team who offered a great deal of support. Isabella Hui was wonderful and worked very hard to see that the volunteers worked together. Dr. Ed Mandell, Sal Chehayeb (Presidident of Michigan Chess) along with Alan Kaufman a donor and a great organizer from Michigan all offered significant support for the tournament. Like any family there were arguments and sometimes heated ones but in the end everyone mostly pulled together. There were many offers of help which were not used or were hardly used but that was a testament to the depth of support that this tournament had. At times there were too many cooks in the kitchen and some seemed to be confused about their roles but that is water under the bridge. I learn from my mistakes usually and will not make the same ones next time.Originally posted by Gary Hua View Post
Thank you to Aris Marghetis, Brian Clarke, Hal Bond, Ed Mandell, Zoltan Kiraly, Joshua Myers, Andrew Peredun, Mikhail Egorov, Peter Porritt, Minya Bai, Manny Kocela (who came out of chess retirement to play in the Canadian Open), Herb Alice, Roman Peredun, Mr. Leung and Mr. Zhong. I am missing one or two arbiters which hopefuly someone can fill in for me.
Victoria who took photos and posted them to the CFC facebook page was essential in getting the word out as the local media seemed to lose interest after the Canadian Open. Thank you to Chau for making a graceful transition from being the lead organizer in 2015 to moving into the background being in charge of the fun committee along with Christina and Isabella. Its not always easy to go from being the leader to the role of a trusted lieutenant but the kids seemed to appreciate the candy and cookies as will their dentists I'm sure. Chau, Isabella and Christina complemented my CFC president, tournament director and logical thought processes which were mostly concerned with the tournament room and the players with some of the emotional concerns which are often missing from tournaments.
Thank you to You Zhou for taking on the task of updating the website during the tournament which freed up my time to do everything else as lead organizer of the tournament. Thanks to John Coleman for posting the results to the other windsorchess site. Finally Jackson Wahl deserves kudos for his help in stepping forward and running portions of the blitz (with me) and bughouse (with Andrew) side tournaments.
Thank you everyone including the participants and parents for making this a great experience for everyone. Finally thank you to Larry Bevand for personally delivering the clocks which allowed us to respond to a late surge in entries.Last edited by Vlad Drkulec; Saturday, 13th August, 2016, 03:56 PM.Comment

Dark Knight / Le Chevalier Noir - General Guidelines
---- Nous avons besoin d'un traduction français!
Some Basics
1. Under Board "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) there are 3 sections dealing with General Forum Usage, User Profile Features, and Reading and Posting Messages. These deal with everything from Avatars to Your Notifications. Most general technical questions are covered there. Here is a link to the FAQs. https://forum.chesstalk.com/help
2. Consider using the SEARCH button if you are looking for information. You may find your question has already been answered in a previous thread.
3. If you've looked for an answer to a question, and not found one, then you should consider asking your question in a new thread. For example, there have already been questions and discussion regarding: how to do chess diagrams (FENs); crosstables that line up properly; and the numerous little “glitches” that every new site will have.
4. Read pinned or sticky threads, like this one, if they look important. This applies especially to newcomers.
5. Read the thread you're posting in before you post. There are a variety of ways to look at a thread. These are covered under “Display Modes”.
6. Thread titles: please provide some details in your thread title. This is useful for a number of reasons. It helps ChessTalk members to quickly skim the threads. It prevents duplication of threads. And so on.
7. Unnecessary thread proliferation (e.g., deliberately creating a new thread that duplicates existing discussion) is discouraged. Look to see if a thread on your topic may have already been started and, if so, consider adding your contribution to the pre-existing thread. However, starting new threads to explore side-issues that are not relevant to the original subject is strongly encouraged. A single thread on the Canadian Open, with hundreds of posts on multiple sub-topics, is no better than a dozen threads on the Open covering only a few topics. Use your good judgment when starting a new thread.
8. If and/or when sub-forums are created, please make sure to create threads in the proper place.
Debate
9. Give an opinion and back it up with a reason. Throwaway comments such as "Game X pwnz because my friend and I think so!" could be considered pointless at best, and inflammatory at worst.
10. Try to give your own opinions, not simply those copied and pasted from reviews or opinions of your friends.
Unacceptable behavior and warnings
11. In registering here at ChessTalk please note that the same or similar rules apply here as applied at the previous Boardhost message board. In particular, the following content is not permitted to appear in any messages:
* Racism
* Hatred
* Harassment
* Adult content
* Obscene material
* Nudity or pornography
* Material that infringes intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any party
* Material the posting of which is tortious or violates a contractual or fiduciary obligation you or we owe to another party
* Piracy, hacking, viruses, worms, or warez
* Spam
* Any illegal content
* unapproved Commercial banner advertisements or revenue-generating links
* Any link to or any images from a site containing any material outlined in these restrictions
* Any material deemed offensive or inappropriate by the Board staff
12. Users are welcome to challenge other points of view and opinions, but should do so respectfully. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Posts and threads with unacceptable content can be closed or deleted altogether. Furthermore, a range of sanctions are possible - from a simple warning to a temporary or even a permanent banning from ChessTalk.
Helping to Moderate
13. 'Report' links (an exclamation mark inside a triangle) can be found in many places throughout the board. These links allow users to alert the board staff to anything which is offensive, objectionable or illegal. Please consider using this feature if the need arises.
Advice for free
14. You should exercise the same caution with Private Messages as you would with any public posting.
15. Have fun!
(Thanks to Nigel Hanrahan for writing these up!)
