Hi Ian you say:
“the only other way would be to get someone to loan or donate Chess Scotland a clock for the visually impaired should the need arise. There would also a need for a visually impaired player to be able to play in a time scramble - I don't know how that would work, especially if assistants are used. FIDE are pushing for incremental time controls yet there doesn't seem to be any guidance about this”
Ian, your Domestic Tournaments Survey (May 1, on page 1) did not include a question about FIDE rated tournaments, and when you posted about the results (May 3 and May 8, same page) you didn’t mention there was a general demand for them to be FIDE rated.
So why is it necessary for what are essentially fun events, especially rapid ones, to be FIDE rated?
Cheers
