No discredit intended, Derek.You say
“Who in CS would grant the discretion?”
Well, CS are asking to have complete freedom over selection criteria, and are also proposing to develop operating procedures to cover all cases - so I expect this case would be readily subsumed by those procedures.
Perhaps a better description than ‘granting discretion’ would help.
Eg, adding this to the text following item 16.1.2 which begins “In the case of Juniors aged 18 and under…”,
" and the requirement for a Scottish (‘SCO’) registration with FIDE may be modified as appropriate in the operating procedures used by Chess Scotland".
This ‘amended amendment’ in conjunction with the rest of my proposed amendment would hopefully allow the CS membership to determine adult eligibility criteria, without impacting unnecessarily on junior selections.
Cheers
