AGM

[Andrew McHarg]

You are wrong Andrew in that the motion, the onus is on the disabled player to inform the organiser to inform them of their needs, thus giving the organiser time to find appropriate accommodation for the disabled player if required

This is what I mean though with regard to clarity. When would a disabled player need to have informed the organiser? If that isn't declared beforehand then it's simply open to personal opinion as to what is considered a fair and acceptable amount of time to find an appropriate alternative for the disabled player. With such ambiguity, how has anything been "formalised"?

But that aside; as you've already alluded to, disabled players are well catered for by tournament organisers in Scotland, who do everything they can on the whole to ensure disabled players can play and enjoy events. So we really don't need a document like this to formalise how we treat disabled players, do we? I'd support genuine guidelines on how tournaments can cater for the needs of disabled players. To me, this isn't that.
