I have been in meetings today for 13 hours (anyone who thinks the Delegate is on a junket is sadly mistaken!!) just managed to get something to eat before the canteen closed.
My understanding is as follows.
These "guidelines" (and I use " deliberately) have to be enforced for FIDE events. That has been decided by various committees this week. I have minutes with me and will bring them to the AGM for anyone who wishes to take a read of them.
We can decide on Chess Scotland events that are non FIDE rated at the AGM however I would suggest that it is prudent that Official CS events follow FIDE guidelines in case of dispute.
All other events, it is up to the organiser, they are simply guidelines (note no "")
