Re: FIDE and CFC ratings for Olympiad-2018

I edited the initial list for the Women Team. I forgot to subtract 10 points for the players who did not play in the last Canadian Women.

Can you remind the latest formula?

For the National Team: the last FIDE + bonus/penalty for the last Canadian Closed.

20 points bonus for 2nd, 10 points bonus for 3rd, 10 points penalty if a player did not play/withdrew.

For the Women Team: the average (last FIDE) - (last CFC) + bonus/penalty for the last Canadian Women.

2). The 4 highest ranked players as determined by formula.

Re: FIDE and CFC ratings for Olympiad-2018

If there's no Canadian Championship before 2018, does Tomas again automatically make the Olympiad team as the "current" Canadian Champion?

According to our rules:

a. The National Team shall consist of 5 players, as follows:

1). The winner of the last Canadian Closed that took place 5-36 months prior to the Olympiad and that has not been used as a qualification for a previous Olympiad.
2). The 4 highest ranked players as determined by formula.
3). If no tournament described in a1 took place, then the 5 highest ranked players as determined by formula.

So no Canadian Closed = 5 players by rating.

There will be a Canadian Championship before 2018.

According to motions, approved on the last on-line voting members meeting, the deadline for chess Olympiad is 5 months before the start of the tournament. The next Olympiad is scheduled to start on Sep 23, 2018 (FIDE calendar). 5 months before this date is Apr 23, 2018. If FIDE doesn't change the frequency of publishing FIDE rating, the last rating list before the deadline will be on Apr 1, 2018. For the Women Team only, the last published CFC rating before Apr 23, 2018 shall be taken into account as well.
