How about changing the format a bit.
8 teams of 8 players
2 sections of 4 (A & B) - CS to place teams in Sections
All-play-All (one game)
10 nominated players per team, 6 of which must be club members
(1 change permitted in season, but must be submitted to CS prior to implementation)
All must be SCO registered and CS Members (particularly non-club members)
Team nominations must be submitted before 1st game played
Fixtures arranged by section teams before 1st game (if possible) and submitted to CS for website
CS to set completion date for all section games prior to fixture meeting
Create a specific page on Chess Scotland website for results and cross-tables
(rather than only using forum)
Top 2 section A & B form final section to play for Richardson Cup
Bottom 2 form section to determine relegation (if needed)
...... or
Section A winner v Section B runner-up
Section B winner v Section A runner up
Bottom team in each section to decide relegation ( 2 relegated, or play-off for 1 relegated)
Optional extras
- FIDE Rated
- Section games can be played on same day at a single venue, possibly different venues for each section
