I think what Andy is trying to do is correct, but I agree with Walter that there should be the ability to have some flexibility, one can imagine all sorts of reasons why a player might genuinely be unable to play 8 FIDE rated games in a six month period. I would suggest that you write the selection criteria in more general terms
A player must be actively competing in the year prior to selection
In general the selectors would expect to see candidates have at least 15 graded games in the last six months with at least 8 being FIDE rated.
It basically says the same thing, but you have wiggle room.
