There was a vote at the 2014 CS AGM on whether the Rich/Spens should be FIDE rated. It went through 11-1 in favour. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.chessscotland.com/Files/2015/AGM2014.pdf">http://www.chessscotland.com/Files/2015/AGM2014.pdf</a><!-- m -->
The AGM of the SNCL has a vote each year on FIDE rated status. The event has voted in favour for the last several seasons and has decided to expand it further by also rating Division 2 this season. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://ratings.fide.com/tournament_list.phtml?moder=ev_code&country=SCO">http://ratings.fide.com/tournament_list ... ountry=SCO</a><!-- m -->
Weekend events are independent of CS and may choose to have their events FIDE rated. CS will facilitate this by submitting the event - events cannot submit directly to FIDE, it must be done via the national organisation. CS will check that the event has met FIDE rating requirements in relation to arbiters, time control etc before event submission.
There is no additional cost to CS for FIDE rating w/e events or the SNCL other than the time taken to register, process, submit data, maintain the database and program such functions. Any event which chooses to FIDE rate will be billed a supplementary fee over and above their domestic rating fee which covers the extra cost to CS.
