I'm not the only one. The FQE did receive emails from people from the Quebec Team, including the coach, asking why three people were announced as the winners (one being only announced to them). Now, apparently Konstantin was announced as the winner during the closing ceremony, but one of the organizers told Lefong that it was David finally (probably this person mixed the names). We simply want to know who finished third? Is it really hard to say one name?
And what if my posts were as accurate on Chesstalk? I'm not the kind of guy to post anything without verifying it twice. I've unfortunately still made a mistake about the number of wins, and I quickly apologized for that. All the rest remains.
Have you read my posts? I know you are busy John, but I've been quite clear. I talked of the profit from the organizer part. I even specified that the amount should be close to $43 000, to be more precise.... So, how can you say that I am arithmetically incompetent, when even the organizers couldn't calculate how much they owe to the CFC? I am sorry, but Google my name (+ math) if you think I am that incompetent.
The organizer part for this tournament was of over $20 000 ($75 per person). We all know that running a 3 days tournament doesn't cost that much. Now I asked a simple question : do you intend to keep it or not? I'm not even criticizing it. I'm asking. Personally, I would invest it back into the youth (as we promised for 2014). But if you decide not do that, so be it. Still, you cannot avoid the question forever.
I make a daily report to the FQE about this topic. They share my concerns (as obviously pretty much everyone do), but they told me that the CYCC has always been like that and that I should give up. They are fully satisfied by my job as a CFC governor. They have been pushing a lot to know who finished third, as they want to announce it in the next magazine (and still have not received an answer).
You do realize that we get no personal profit from it (altough with all the work we put into it, it would be expected). We will spend all the money we get in tournaments (in which I won't even play). You can fire us, we won't die. This only means that we won't be able to volunteer to promote chess in Montreal anymore.
I think that you guys are pretty busy this week to realize what's going on. I defended your event more than once recently. I said you made a good choice of not FIDE-rating the event, that nobody should expect you to have 140 clocks and that MonRoi seemed to have some problems (not you). I even congratulated you on the tournament and said if all the money was returned to the kids, we could call it a great event.
I simply don't get any answers to my questions, so I have to ask them again and again. Why do you avoid them? I'm not the only one asking questions, and you literally don't answer to anyone. I'm not even insulting (as you did more than once on this thread) or criticizing. I don't expect you to post a financial report today, but you can surely tell us if you plan to do so or not.
Let's play a game. I ask you three questions. Three simple questions.
1) Will the profit be given back to the kids? Yes: [ ] No: [ ]
2) Will the organizers post a financial statement? Yes: [ ] No: [ ]
3) Who finished third in the U18? Nikita: [ ] Konstantin: [ ] Other: [ ]
I won't get into an endless debate about your answers. I (and many others) just wish to know the answers. That's it.
I don't want to start a debate here. I just want to know who finished third and if there is additional bursaries. Many of the parents are writing to me, asking these questions. I promised them I would get an answer, and I won't stop until I do.
