The coach/head of delegation does not need a Fide trainers licence for events such as The EU Youth Championships (which Kai Pannwitz won) and Jugendschach at Mureck. A fully funded place is available. We still didn't send a squad.
For events such as the World Youth, World Cadets, Euroyouth and Under 16 Olympiad a fully funded place is available for a coach/head of delegation as long as they have a Fide trainer licence. ChessScotland has spent a not inconsiderable amount of money for folks (ten so far, I make it) to attain this qualification at various European based events. After all, if they have this title we receive the free fully funded accommodation place. If we are spending money in order to attain this accreditation, why aren't we using it at the events it's designed for?
