  • Mississauga CYCC Qualifier 2013

    First, congratulations to our WYCC 2012 team for their recent outstanding performance in Maribor, Slovenia. And many thanks to the volunteers that make it happen. I'm looking at the facebook page, and I see lots of pictures of happy kids. Fantastic. For a small chess nation like Canada, we sure do punch above our weight at the WYCC. :)

    Well, it is time to start thinking about 2013. We are moving up our CYCC qualifier this year to January. Here are the particulars. We had 52 kids last year, and it was a resounding success. Looking forward to 2013.

            Shamelessly bumping my post! ;)

            We now have 13 pre registered. But I also wanted to remind organizers that they can advertise their events free on the CFC website. Why not?

            I did so on tuesday. Just follow the queues, it was easy. I got an instant email confirmation and it was up today when I checked. Last year I did have some problems, but it looks like our guys have ironed out the bugs. :)

                Hi Bob,

                I am running a CYCC qualifier in March/April. I made my flyer by copying yours. :)
                I posted the Mississauga qualifier at our website. http://senecahillchess.com

                    Registration is still open. :D

                    I would point out that some of the flyers were printed up incorrectly as:
                    - please register by Jan 17th, whereas it should have read,
                    - please register by Jan 24th. My apologies.

                    In fact, if space permits, we will take registrations right up to saturday evening.

                    We now have 48 registered players.

                      One final shameless bump as we scroll off the page. :D
                      Registered players = 50. :D
                      Last year was 52. Can we top it?

                      ps. It's looking good!
                      Registered players = 68.
