Appeal to the Qualifications Board.
Send a letter to the BC Junior Chess Association Qualification Board explaining
why you should be allowed to play in the Provincial Championship. This is commonly
applied where a player falls ill on game day or there are no
qualifying events in their area. History in the Provincial, current chess activity
and a rating in the top 50% of your grade are typical qualifying conditions.
There
is a $10 fee for a Qualifying Board review.
(Areas with no Regional Qualifying Tournaments are exempt from the fee)
Send your letter and a $10 cheque to:
BC Junior Chess Association

The letter should be postmarked no later than Apr. 1, 2010, e.g. mail your letter before Apr. 1.
