The Organizing Committee has approved two requests for 3rd teams from the same post-secondary institution for the University of Waterloo and the University of Toronto.
As per Section 2. of the Technical Regulations:
There shall be two (2) separate sections: Crown and Reserve. Post-secondary institutions (e.g. universities, CEGEPs) located anywhere in Canada are welcome to register teams for the Championship. Teams registered for the Crown section shall be composed solely of players attending the same post-secondary institution. One institution can field a maximum of two teams in the Crown section. Requests to admit a third team from the same institution will be evaluated by the Organizing Committee at its sole discretion. The Organizing Committee’s decision on all admission issues is final.
Given the sizeable sections (16 teams as of December 18th), Waterloo C and UToronto C will be moved to the Crown section given that their average team ratings are over 1800. The Chief Arbiter, Tanner McNamara notes that the decision came after considering the diversity in the section.
For post-secondary institutions intending to field third-teams in the Crown Section, requests can be made to info@cucc2026.ca.
