Re: Canadian Closed Round 5 results, Rd 6 paired

Are there norm oppourtunities in the Closed this year?

[Bob Armstrong]

Re: Canadian Closed Round 5 results, Rd 6 paired

Hi Luke:

I believe, because Canada is a zone of its own, our zonal awards an IM title and 2 FM titles - can anyone confirm this?

That's right, Bob! See my thread's discutions on this forum.

No Mon-Roi Transmission for the upcoming Canadian Zonal in Guelph? (Multi-page thread 1 2)

You can get a norm in a zonal as well as win the title outright.

Excuse my ignorance, but how do you get a title in a zonal when there are no other federations participating?

The Canadian provinces are treated as federations, that's the exception! See FIDE regulations in this topic.

Re: Canadian Closed Round 5 results, Rd 6 paired

It's a special rule for Zonal tournaments - finishing above 2/3 score makes you an IM, finishing 50% or higher is an FM (max of 1 and 2 titles respectively). Also norms can be obtained regardless of federations or titles, based solely on performance rating, and count as a 13 game norm.
