You haven't read very carefully then, have you?
I thought my position was perfectly clear but for clarity, just for you, I ,personally, entirely reject your supposed scenarios.
I have talked to a couple or three tournament organisers and organisations today who can see no problem adopting the guidelines but don't post on this forum so are not heard.
There are no circumstances in the real world under which any event can be held to ransom by a single over demanding disabled entrant.
As to " restricting the liberty of organisers " the guidelines do no such thing. you are free to organise any event you wish, just having regard to the needs of all entrants.
To suggest that events would have to be cancelled or not run is scaremongering in the extreme.
You bring up Edinburgh, I have heard of disabled users having great difficulty with the access but there is no suggestion from those in favour of the guidelines that Edinburgh shut it's doors just because it is not disabled friendly. Those against, on the other hand, seem to relish such an event. If I had Edinburgh's vote I know which way I would cast it.
