Does the "C" in CYCC stand for Canada or China?

I see that Jasper Y C Shi in the U10 Boy's Division is from Beijing, China.

There are many Canadian born or Canadian citizens who are living outside of Canada and based on CFC handbook they are allowed to play in Canadian -YCC

How did the Beijing boy qualify for the CYCC? Did he attend school in Canada, and play in a provincial qualifier?

Not bad for OPEN section, but none of Girls section has 8 or more players. Would it help to give exceptions to girls who didn't qualify but like to play?

The boy does not have a CFC rating. Organiser's wild card, maybe? Or special permission from the CFC Youth Coordinator?

Early days yet. Windsor2010 didn't reach 116 players till June 10th, and we ended up with 167 total.

With the exception of ON, BC and AB... are any other provinces where the kids can play in a CYCC qualifier?

I believe the Quebec Youth championships act as qualification tournament as well (at least last year).

Apparently unrated by either CMA or CFC - how did he qualify? Just askin'

[Hugh Brodie]

Re: 2012 CYCC - May 28 - Players 116 (Open 91 & Girls 25)

And Jasper Y C Shi (from Beijing) does not seem to have a CFC rating.

How did he (and others) get on the "Qualified Players" list(s)? Here is the list for U10 (there are 253 names on this list alone!):
