Ken, make the change if you want but only next year, after consultation, and after a vote. If we can't vote at SNCL then it must be at CS AGM.
It's the dictatorship and lack of consultation which I don't like . This should be the norm for any rule change. This sets a terrible precedent for other chess rules if this change goes ahead
Look what we have for the Richardson: " Richardson Cup - Following correspondence with fellow Management Board directors it has been decided to add “A review of the Richardson Cup rules and regulations” to the April Management Board meeting agenda. ... To further assist in this review, we are inviting submissions from CS individual members and member clubs, via their secretary to input into the review. WE WILL NOT CONSIDER FORUM SUBMISSIONS HOWEVER. All submissions for consideration should be sent to CS President <!-- e --><a href="mailto:president@chessscotland.com">president@chessscotland.com</a><!-- e --> and must be received no later than Friday 31st March. All submissions will be acknowledged on receipt. ANY RECOMMENDED CHANGES IN RULES WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN SEASON 2017/18."
As I have said previously , to be consistent why then don't we make the Richardson final instead of 40 moves in 2 hours , reduce time to 3/5 = 60% so 40 moves in 72 minutes + increments?
