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/player for multi-day events and $1.50/player for single day events.

Taxes

As of July 1, 2011 HST or PST+GST taxes are applicable on CFC rating fees.
For example - for $3 events: NB, ON, NL - $3.39 ; PEI - $3.42; NS - $3.45; All others - $3.15

— TOTAL FEES —

Total fees due include the CFC rating fees (Regular, Quick, or Junior), the BC Tournament fees (if applicable), and the HST or PST+GST taxes.
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.

Notification and Reporting

Before the tournament, the organizer must notify the CFC Office that the event should be FIDE rated.
The organizer must report the tournament results quickly.
Failure to do so will result in an additional fee of $100.
