Robin, I see no obstacle in that guideline for any premises.
I would also point out that it will have no effect on the vast majority of chess players in Scotland and would only affect the tournament organiser and any disabled player requiring special needs.
As this would be on a case for case basis with, one would assume, a willingness on both sides to reach a compromise I still cannot see any reason not to adopt these guidelines.
It's not as if tournament organisers are going out of their way to dismiss the vast ranks of disabled players trying to enter the tournaments already.
I have never heard of any player being refused entry to an event due to disability so I think adopting this merely formalises the position that tournament organisers in Scotland already take.
