What is B. C. Youth Chess Championship (BCYCC)?
BCYCC is a qualifier event to the Canadian Youth Chess Championship (CYCC) which will take place in Montreal, Quebec from Jul 15 to Jul 18, 2014.

How can I qualify to take part at CYCC?
Players who scored 50% (2.5 points) at regional BCCC and meet Chess Federation of Canada requirements for residency or citizenship to qualify for the CYCC. BCYCC is one of the qualifiers.
