Eligibility rules for Team BC player selection
The Intermat Organizing Committee ("Committee") has the authority on the selection and forming of the Intermat BC Team, in general the Committee will follow the guidelines below.
- Team BC will be composed of two players per grade from kindergarten to grade twelve.
- In each grade both players will be invited based on the last CFC regular ratings list published at least eight weeks preceding the Intermat. CMA or other ratings may be used as a reference if a player either does not have a CFC rating or their CFC rating is judged inaccurate due to being based on too few games.
- If it is not possible to fill both spots after the top five players per grade have been invited, the Committee reserves the right to invite players from lower grades to fill the remaining place(s), based on rating and merit.
- Residency Rule - all Team BC players in the Intermat must reside in B.C. and: a) have resided in B.C. for a total of at least six months in the twelve months prior to the start of the Intermat or b) have resided in B.C. for the three months prior to the start of the Intermat.
