There was disagreement about me being captain and about player selection too. This is normal and difficult choices had to be made. I will be setting a deadline for replies. It is likely the costs will be slightly over budget and that some people will not be 100% funded. This will be decided democratically after the tournament when full costs known. The other questions cannot be answered yet as people are still making up their minds. Disappointingly two of our best players , Jonathan Rowson and Paul Motwani have declined to play.
I don't think it matters we have only the highest rated players. We want players proud and also keen to get the opportunity to represent their country. Set a deadline and then offer to others if deadline passes.
I hope the Scottish Champion was offered a place
No disrespect intended but I hope captaincy is not you appointing yourself. I assume there is some independent panel that has been appointed to select? This is simply good practice.
