British Columbia tournament fees
- Instead of annual BC Chess Federation membership dues, CFC-rated tournaments held in BC are required to pay an extra fee per player along with the CFC rating fees. These fees are paid to the CFC (who collect them on behalf of the BCCF). See BCCF Membership.
- Fees are per player for both BC residents and non-residents but not for BCCF Life Members (list).
- $3.00+tax/player for multi-day events and $1.50+tax/player for single day events.
Taxes: Add HST or GST+PST taxes according to the “Taxes” section below.
To be CFC-rated, the event organizer must send the total fees to the CFC along with the event’s results. Any CFC membership dues (new and renewals) collected at the event should be sent to the CFC too.
FIDE Rating Fees

- Before the tournament, the organizer must notify the CFC Office that the event should be FIDE rated.

- Failure to do so will result in an additional fee of $100.
