Hi folks,
The CSC #2 (cadet/junior) and CSC #1 (senior) is coming to BC (Richmond Oval - 6111 River Road, Richmond, BC) from January 28-30, 2011.
The CFF has just released the qualification list for the CSCs. You can check if you qualify to compete in the CSCs. According to the revised selection criteria, they are now allowing everyone with a CFF senior ranking (any ranking) to be eligible to compete in the CSCs. You don't need to be top 64 in Canada to be qualified anymore.

They also posted up the qualification criteria for 2011-11 CSCs/Nationals.

If you wish to compete in the CSCs in January, you must make sure you are in the qualification list - they will not offer any refunds if you register for the CSCs and are NOT qualified to compete in that competition. Then, you must submit the entry form online and pay the necessary entry fees. The first registration deadline is January 14, 2011, at 9:00 pm PST. After that, the fees will be tripled (late penalty fee).

Note that for senior events, it is mandatory that you have a FIE jacket and breeches meeting the FIE standards of 800 N or better. You also need a FIE sous plastron and FIE mask. We will be doing a term 2 club order and will send in the order in the beginning of January so that it arrives well before January 28th. If you want to compete in the CSCs but do not own any FIE equipment, please talk to us as soon as possible and we can arrange to send in the club equipment order so that you receive your FIE equipment on time.
