To obtain a CFC ID to play in the tournament, visit http://www.chess.ca
There is no official registration fee. The suggested donation is $10 – 20 to help cover costs of snacks, drinks, and equipment. If you can afford it, donating would help. If you can afford to donate $20 or more, it would help tremendously and would allow us to keep running these tournaments more than once a year.
Ways to donate:

We cannot accept cash on the day of the tournament, but we can accept cash on our Friday night sessions which would go towards the tournament. Come by on a Friday night, donate, and say “this is for the tournament”.
If you can’t afford to donate, write “0” in the “My expected donation” section. We will e-mail you to confirm this. Most people who can afford CFC fees can also afford to donate some non-zero amount of money to a free chess club run by volunteers. If you do not donate then, on principle, we will place you in the tournament if you register. It is a donation-only chess tournament, we will not demand money and we are not in this for the money. This is about supporting all of you, this is about chess.

- No Round 5 byes, round 5 missed games are full-point forfeits
- Forfeit time is 15 minutes
- Registration closes at 11:59 pm on November 15th
- Links to pairings and other links for the tournament will be posted on the main ECC page Nov 17th
- Players will be seated November 18th 8 45 am November 19th 9 45 am
- The first round on November 18th will start at the needle drop of 9 AM
- 50+15 was chosen as a time control because we have the space from 8 am to 6 pm, and we don’t want to rush players between rounds. We want people to have time to breathe, eat, and analyze their games, but we also want them to have quality games, which is achievable at this time control … and of the 45 who participated last time, 39 voted for 5 rounds instead of 4. Y’all want it, y’all got it.
- Bring your own water bottles. We are bringing a water jug with a spout, we had too many loose bottles last time and we are doing this as a means of waste reduction
- We will supply low-sugar snacks, Coke Zero, and we will aim to supply lunch if possible
