How much does the CFC tournament membership cost? Thanks.

It depends on the province since each provincial affiliate has their
portion of the dues (set by the province but collected by the TD on
behalf of the CFC which pays the provincial affiliate 4 times a year).

In British Columbia it's $13.00 - $10 for the CFC, $3 for the BCCF.
There's a junior tournament membership as well which I forget.

Bear in mind that currently 1 Canadian dollar trades at about
US$.70-72 so that would be roughly US $9.

Annual regular adult dues for BC players have just been raised from
$45 to $48 per year by way of comparison so the CFC tournament fee is
sort of like a proxy for the USCF 6 month dues - by the way is this
available to ALL players or just first-time members?
