Motion 1 (wording to go to Council)

[Ianbrownlee]

As a recent incident confirms. I still do not have permission from any of the moderators to publish details of that incident (nor have I been refused permission to publish)

Hi Phil
I'm back from holiday I am aware of the incident and as a friend and as a moderator I would ask you to refrain from publishing until the weekend so that we may discuss this separately. I believe the player in question did not ask to redraw your pairing on disablement issues therefore it is not appropriate to discuss it here on this thread. However your point is not lost on me and although I have heard a version of what happened, I would appreciate it if you would send me details of the incident

Motion 1 is being amended and will go forward to council for approval to get the kinks. There are still one or two kinks in my opinion but I'm sure we'll get there. Once its implemented i'm just a wee bit worried about the penalty side of it in the club competitions such as the Richardson and spens cup. As far as I can see the only forfeiture is that it doesn't get FIDE rated, Is that the game, the match or the whole tournament It also means if an away team has a disabled player, they need to announce that player to the home team which gives away a possible advantage in team selection
