Alex and Alan,
Ultimately, I think we have to ask the question - how many Scottish players are actually capable of getting norms? I think the lack of norms at the Scottish in recent years is in large part down to the fact that there aren't many 'realistic' norm seekers. Impacting that doesn't have much to do with the Scottish Championships per se, but how do we support and develop Murad, Declan, Lennart, Kai et al throughout the whole year. Not easy at all with very limited resources.
