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

Your announcement says that no outside food will be allowed in the hotel, yet on your website, you announce that Teriyaki will deliver pre-ordered food at noon.
Will there be a designted place in the hotel to eat Teriyaki food?
Will there be a designted place in the hotel to eat personal food?
Looking forward to the CYCC

Yes, there is food court close in the shopping mall inside Hotel where players can eat lunch there. About 173 seats.
Thank you for your attention, we will post notice in family room( Markham) to guide players where to eat.
In addition to Monroi, and assuming that NCR scoresheets will be available on all boards, I will be entering all the games into CanBase over the next few weeks.
Jin - assuming the above, I will be at the CFC meeting on the 11th and 12th and I could pick up the scoresheets there. Just ensure that they are in some sort of order (by round, by age group).
However, back to my original question to CYCC 2011 organizers, it seem there is no Monroi website for this event. I can see COCC at http://monroi.com/chess-events.html , but there is no CYCC.

They have own website: http://www.2011cycc.ca
The Monroi would be helpful if the games would be transmitted online. If not, there are other pgn viewers to incorporate in the website.
Rule is no parents/visitors in the playing hall. This is for specific reasons.
But it is not for the purpose of prohibiting creation of a photo record. Contact Anna for permission to take photos during a round, or at least in the first 10 minutes of the round.
This is the exactly the reason I asked about Monroi site - I was wondering if there would be a Monroi server at CYCC and if the games would be transmitted online (at the last several CYCCs the games were transmitted online).

Igor,
MonRoi is already at the site preparing the live transmission.
Thank you for all the comments and suggestion to CYCC Committe. You can review all games in our web-site 2011cycc.ca with new announcement section "MonRoi link". We also have updated pairing and standing after second round. For photo, no flash photo during tournament, no parents/coach allowed inside the tournament Hall. Visitor should ask permission to enter.
For scoresheets we are not keep them if player want to take out.
