Just a wee question to get the rules clarified.
Board order, from the Richardson rules on the website
The order of players in each team shall be that of current playing strength.
Does this mean that teams can use the LIVE grading list (i.e. The updated grading list) or should it be the PUBLISHED list?
The problem with using the LIVE list is that, using myself as an example, 9 of my games this season (out of 11) have yet to be submitted for grading, so it may not reflect CURRENT playing strength.
On Saturday, we decided to follow the PUBLISHED grades exactly to avoid any possible problems/complaints (even though we might have preferred a different board order), but it appears that Edinburgh West played out of grading order'?!
Also, as the games are FIDE-rated, should we be playing in FIDE rating order? (maybe that's what Ed. West did?)
Anyway, not to make a big issue out of this, but it would be good to know what's-what before the final : )

Grading order : I am quite lax, 80 points on any grading list is ok
FIDE rated: not any more , very few games, not worth effort

-So is it up to you to 'interpret' the rules as organiser, Andy?! Might be worth popping in a statement to that effect (80 points, etc) just for clarity. And specify which list should be used ('any' is just a bit silly!).
-Not worth the effort for who? Maybe the players who have a nice long time-control, one-game-a-day, would think it worth the effort! Anyone remember the SNCL FIDE-rating discussion?

reasonable grading order is ok unless blatantly wrong
a team can object at start of match
the 80 point rule as in 4NCL is an unofficial guideline
can use CS or FIDE for this
only one person got a partial rating last year
people that want to play lots of FIDE rated games please enter the Scottish championship

Andy - I am surpised you do not know already that it works as follows: subtract lowest from highest published ratings of Mssrs Muir, Redpath, Coffey and S Tweedie and that is the acceptable variance.

OK, lets try again

- Reasonable grading order does not fit with the stated rule. Please clarify the actual rule Andy. Objecting before the match shouldnt be necessary - before a match, players want to relax or focus or both, not get involved in sillyness which should be cleared up beforehand.
- the 80 point rule as in 4NCL is an unofficial guideline can use CS or FIDE? Which??!! One team uses each? Seriously!?
- only one person got a partial rating last year I wasnt thinking about people getting partial ratings, I was (call me selfish if you like) thinking about the 2 or 3 rated games I could have to my name against strong (already FIDE rated) opponents?
people that want to play lots of FIDE rated games please enter the Scottish championship I really hope to, but not relevant to the question

80 pts under any grading list is ok
eg joe bloggs = 2200 fide , andy smith = 2275 fide , pat brown = 2280 fide: andy, pat and joe can play in any order
due to fides similar
the strong players dont want it rated so I scrapped it

Thats not good enough Andy.
Its not being FIDE rated but you can use FIDE ratings within 80points for board order? What an absolute nonsense. There is a rule in place, lets just stick to it.
The order of players in each team shall be that of current playing strength.
Order based on CS gradings if it is only going to be CS graded - you can decide, Andy, whether we use the PUBLISHED list or the LIVE list (one OR the other) and let us know as soon as possible please.
Out of interest, which strong players dont want it rated and when was that decided?
