Hi Dougie you say
“Participants in the FIDE rated events of SNCL, Rich/Spens, Edinburgh Congress are often not CS members - new players without a FIDE pnum have to be added with a SCO code before the event can be submitted for FIDE rating. Currently we do not check membership status before adding the SCO code.”
It’s not just the ‘Summary of Changes’, but the Constitution text also says that the SCO code is enough for eligibility for championship purposes and for international selection.
When the SCO code is added as you describe for grading purposes, does that mean the same thing as having a ‘SCO’ registration with FIDE? If so doesn’t that mean there’s a problem?
I may have got this bit wrong (or maybe it was an administrative glitch that was meant to be tidied up) - but in any case, perhaps you or someone in the CWP could clarify the implications of what you are saying about the SCO code for the constitutional proposals in section 16!?
Cheers
Walter
