Chess Scotland Adult Selection Criteria

[George Neave]

I vote against. It's clear there are a few players with the time, money and inclination to play much more than some other, stronger, players. Generally for representing Scotland, playing strength should trump all other factors.

That being said, I have always liked the idea that the current Scottish Champ should get a spot in the Olympiad team. This has been debated at length before. Personally, I think that is enough on topic of rewards for participation and would leave it at that.
