I think the CS events are the Nancy Elder, Spens, Scottish, MacIsaac etc I don't think the Scottish is FIDE rated in any section but I could be wrong. Regional leagues and most congresses are neither FIDE nor CS apart from the ones already mentioned. As I've said before it's only the CS events that I think are up for discussion- FIDE events are a done deal, and at the moment regional leagues and non-FIDE local congresses are not affected at all. The tricky one is the SNCL which is not CS although Division 1 is FIDE rated which in turn makes the entire venue subject to FIDE rules and guidelines
