It may not be necessay if eligibility criteria are clear otherwise.
Sounds like a very old rule then - if distant parts = more than 30 miles.
If the intention of the rule, as currently worded, is to exclude those not qualified to play for Scotland OR not living temporarily in Scotland. Then why not change the rule to limit competitors to players qualified to play for Scotland OR not currently resident in Scotland. ?
