Hi Ian
Dougie Bryson said earlier:
"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."
Presently, the constitution states that this code alone makes you eligible for selection etc - strange, but true.
If the SCO is an artefact of the particular computer/admin arrangements at a particular time, then perhaps it shouldn't really be part of the constitution in the first place!? I'm sure if the officals can deal with foreign players with the wrong code they can surely also deal even better with not having the admin code determining eligibility in the constitution to begin with!
Cheers
