Indeed you would expect the proposer not only to make sure of their seconder(s) but to provide the evidence on demand if the named seconder was not attending. Whilst there are 2 seconders named I would question the stance that it's all right, we still have one.
Would not the position be that if 2 seconders are named both have to legal, as it were, for the motion to be competent.
Otherwise, taking it to extremes, a motion could proposed with many seconders in the hope at least one would be willing to do so.
With a fair few people taking no interest in the workings of Chess Scotland naming a few of them as seconders wouldn't be a problem as they would never find out.
