Hi Craig, you're obviously feeling aggrieved and perhaps rightly so. The senior eligibility wasn't explicit so as it stands I think you are in the right.
My point was that I feel the intention was to have separate sections (I may be wrong about this) and I don't see what would be 'age-discriminatory' about this considering that the entire concept itself is obviously discriminatory in nature?!
I'm more than happy to support you once I'm convinced that you're correct in what you say. It would be interesting to know what the organisers and others think about the situation, or perhaps FIDE guidelines which cover 'senior titles within a larger event'.
Congratulations on your title(s) anyway Craig- hopefully this matter can be resolved amicably and clearer rules and guidelines put in place for next year.
