OK the central venue may not so good for the reasons Hamish gave so I dont think that will be on the table at least for the next season. It means we have to use at how to implement the incremental time control (if we do at all?)
The team registration is a must for the FIDE angle and to improve the administration and maybe get the formal admin process running. The big issue then would be how to avoid the 4NCL. This is a real issue. Perhaps instead of playing in the 23rd of January, change it to be played BY the 23rd of January. Indeed one match was played the week before without issue.
Again the POLY issue was caused by them not realising the potenital clash on the 23rd combined with a change of captains. The draw was made at the Dundee congress so there was no reason the game could have been played in December or Early January had POLY recognised the issue. I cannot legislate for the 4NCL anyway because our draw was listed first
I dont see how we cant have both quality and quantity. Perhaps quantity would allow for regional heats before the finals but i dont see our higher graded players liking that option.
While I am also posting I should also mention that we plan to reimagine the MacIsaac tournament as a FIDE rated rapidplay tournament as a one day event
