Who can host FEOC tournaments in their establishment?

Your establishment already welcomes people who love to gather, think, laugh and come back. ÉCHEC O CUBE offers to turn those moments into a true living community: recurring game nights, a unique atmosphere, and an official title recognized by the ÉCHEC O CUBE Federation (FEOC).

Become a place where something happens

Imagine your tables full on normally quiet evenings. Imagine players who come back week after week, who know each other by name, who make your establishment their meeting point. That is exactly what an official FEOC partnership creates: a concrete, regular reason to come to you.

What you receive as an official FEOC venue

• The right to organize FEOC-sanctioned tournaments — Your tournaments become official and count toward the national Elo ranking. Enthusiasts actively seek out venues that offer sanctioned tournaments.
• An FEOC-certified referee provided by ÉCHEC O CUBE — For each tournament, a certified referee is assigned. You have nothing to manage on the rules or disputes side: everything is taken care of.
• An official framed FEOC poster and a room banner — Your play space is immediately identified as a recognized official site.
• Printed official rulebooks — Available on your tables, with your contact information as an official venue.
• Your name on echecocube.ca/partenaires — A dedicated page on the official website. All FEOC communications highlight partner venues.
• Priority access to the provincial FEOC calendar — Your tournament dates are listed first in the official calendar published on the website and FEOC social networks.

Why it works for your establishment

• Lively tables on slow evenings — A tournament fills your room for hours. Where there was no one, there is now a community that plays, talks and spends.
• Customers who come back every month — An active FEOC player returns regularly for tournaments. They become a loyal regular, not just a passing customer.
• No rules or dispute management — The FEOC referee handles everything on the board. You focus on your service. Responsibilities are clearly separated.
• Visibility beyond your walls — Your establishment shines on the official website, in the provincial calendar and on FEOC networks, attracting new faces at every event.

A community, not just an event

Beyond tournaments, you offer your customers a sense of belonging. Open play nights, introductions for new players and recurring meetups build lasting bonds. Your establishment becomes a landmark, a place people want to return to and recommend to others.
