  • Are there new rules for the CYCC?

    Is it still possible for a youngster to play in the CYCC without playing in a regional event?

    Is it still possible for a youngster to qualify for the World event without playing in any event in Canada?

    Sorry but I have not stayed up to date with this stuff.

    From the CFC handbook:

    703. Players: {Motion 2009-13 2009 AGM Nadeau/Lavin}

    The following players shall be eligible to participate in each Youth Tournament ...

    a) The qualifiers from that year's YCC's.

    b) The qualifiers from the CYCC to the WYCC of the previous year.

    c) The highest rated of each age category {open & female} of each Province {as of May 1st prior to the CYCC}

    d) The host organizer may nominate three players for each category from the host location. {Amendment of Original Motion Barron/Langer}

    e) The former CYCC Champions [Motion 2011-28E Michael Barron/Anna Jin]

    f) Where there is no provincial qualifier, up to 3 players may be qualified at the discretion of the provincial Youth Coordinator. In the absence of a Provincial Coordinator, players would apply to the CFC Youth Coordinator. Motion 2011-28F Gillanders/Brammall]

    g) The top ten rated players in each age category in the country (as of May 1st prior to the CYCC) [Motion 2011-28H Brammall/Armstrong]


    I'm pretty sure I am correct in saying that players at WYCC must go thru the CFC.

      Re: Are there new rules for the CYCC?

      The key rules in the CFC Handbook for the WYCC indicate a youth must play in the CYCC to join the Canadian WYCC team:

      712.Participation in the World Events:

      [Motion 2011-B moved by Vladimir Birarov, seconded by Valer Demian]

      INVITED PLAYERS

      a) Canadian Youth Chess Championship (CYCC) is a qualifier to international youth chess competitions.

      Top 3 finishers in each section are qualified to become official representatives for:

      1) World Youth Chess Championship (WYCC);

      2) Pan American Youth Chess Championship;

      3) North American Youth Chess Championship.

      The subsequent sections deal with special cases,

      and additional players, who must have played in the CYCC.

      There is one exception for a youth in the top three in Canada for their section:

      e) 3 top CFC rated players in each category (by January 1st of the current year) if not able to participate at CYCC due to extraordinary circumstances, and wishing to participate at WYCC, are eligible to submit to CFC their applications for participation at WYCC before the start of CYCC. CFC Executive has the right to reject the application at their discretion if applicant's circumstances are not valid and/or exceptional. All players whose applications are approved will be eligible to participate at WYCC using their own funds plus paying extra fee of $300 to CFC Youth Program fund.

      Again, though, the player must go through the CFC Executive, but may get permission, despite missing the CYCC.

        Three questions:

        Where is a list of the provincial qualifying events?

        What is the last date a province can schedule a qualifying tournament?

        If a player discovers that on the May 1st list s/he is not qualified by rating, but the qualifying events have already been held for that province, is the player out of options?

          The CFC Regular Chess Post – January 15/13 –2013 Canadian Youth Chess Championships –

          Posted today on the CFC " News " Forum:

          The CFC Regular Chess Post – January 15/13 –2013 Canadian Youth Chess Championships – CFC Website Page

          CFC has started a new page on its website to promote both the CYCC and the provincial YCC’s that feed players into the CYCC: http://chess.ca/2013-cycc . The page tells you how you can qualify for the CYCC through YCC’s:

          “How do I qualify to take part?

          Participate in a regional youth chess championship (YCC) and achieve a score that meets a minimum threshold. A 50% score is typically the standard for moving on to provincial and/or national competition. If a qualifier is unavailable in your area, it is easy to run your own!”

          And this year there is a new economical option for running a YCC for the organizers:

          “just a $2 per registrant cost to be an official qualifier.”

          For organizers, see the page for more details on your options for running a YCC in your province! Let’s qualify as many good juniors to the CYCC as we can – give the juniors in your province the opportunity to qualify!

          John - I think the CFC Youth Coordinator is trying to get all Provincial YCC's listed on this page, but best to check with him: Patrick McDonald.

            Re: Are there new rules for the CYCC?

            I think the CFC governors were voting on the following new rules concerning WYCC qualification, but am uncertain whether it passed. Does anyone know what happened?

            ************************
            1062 Participation in the World Junior Championship and World Junior Girls Championship:

            a) The official representative of Canada in the World Junior Championship events will be the winners of the respective National events. If the winner is unable to participate, the second place finisher shall be invited to go in his place. If the second place finisher also declines, the highest finisher in the tournament who is willing to participate in the world event shall be selected.

            b) Additional players may participate, however they will not be the official Canadian representative and as such will not be entitled to any special offers from the organizer of the World event. Such players are responsible for all fees and expenses that may be involved in their participation. They must qualify in one of the three following methods:
            1) Finished 1st-3rd in the National event
            2) Are rated higher than 2300 CFC or 2200 FIDE (2100 CFC and 2000 FIDE for girls)
            3) Participated in the National event and have a peak CFC or FIDE rating above 2000 (1800 for girls)

            c) Any players who wish to participate in a World Junior Championship event who qualify under 1062.b.2 or 1062.b.3 must pay a $250 fee to the CFC in order to be eligible. Players qualifying under 1062.b.1 are exempt from paying this fee. All fees collected under this rule are to be immediately forwarded by the CFC as a principal donation to the Kalev Pugi fund to support youth chess in Canada.

            d) The CFC Board of Directors shall use an appropriate tie breaking method to break ties if required to determine the order of finish. The tie breaking method must be acceptable as per CFC and FIDE rules, and must be announced prior to the start of the National event.
