      Thanks Larry! It's great to have the CMA kiosk during both events.

      As of the CYCC rating freeze date June 22, we have 74 players in Girls and 265 in Open, for a total of 339 participants, and there are more registrations coming in this week.

          Hello Hugh,

          There never are - because the official player slots for World Youth / World Cadets are on the line. This is one of the rules in the Handbook that rightfully remain in force.

          "708. Entries.
          [...]
          CFC policy on playing up in an older section of the CYCC as articulated by then CFC youth coordinator Patrick McDonald February 2012:

          If someone wants to play in an age category older than the one they qualify for, they can do so.

          BUT: if they win a spot in a certain age category to play at the WYCC, that is the age category that we are willing to send them to the WYCC in.

          IE: if one player who is 9 years old, wishes to play in the U14 section at the CYCC, and if they win a spot to go to the WYCC, the only age category that Canada will send them to the WYCC in is the U14 section.

          The same would go for girls that would like to play in the open section for their age group (or older) ... if a girl plays in the open section and wins a spot to go to the WYCC, then the only section that Canada will send them to the WYCC in is the section that they qualified in at the CYCC
          ."

              Hello Alex,

              It is 23:59 on July 01, i.e. the day after the FIDE July rating list is published. All FIDE/CFC ratings for foreign players and Canadians living outside Quebec and FQE ratings for residents of Quebec will be frozen at this moment. However, please note that, for obvious reasons, the actual CO tournament files won't be updated until the CYCC completes. Everythig shall be up-to-date online by EOD July 06.
