Scottish Championships 2019
#45
The current rules to be eligible to be Scottish Champion are set out in Section A of “Scottish Champion Entry Rules”: An additional sentence shall be added: To be eligible to be Scottish Champion or Scottish Senior Champion a player must also be FIDE registered as Scotland with a SCO code. Proposed: Andy Muir – Seconded: George Neave

Andy Muir noted this in a post above and George Neave has since commented (also above), indicating no little confusion.

Can a current CS official please urgently reveal the above-mentioned "Section A of Scottish Champion Entry Rules" (updated to include the additional words that were passed at the 2016 AGM, as in the above successful motion), so that this discussion can proceed in a properly constitutionally and incontrovertibly factually based way?

Or, at least, please provide the relevant link to the whereabouts of these Championship Entry Rules (as currently stated), which I and apparently others can't find at the CS website.

I am somewhat surprised that no CS official has yet done this and fear that this indicates that there may indeed be some unfortunate interpretative confusion (albeit, I feel certain, wholly innocent and entirely inadvertent) that calls for the kind of Solomon-like motion advanced by Matthew Turner for this year's Championship. This may indeed require a quite separate motion at 2019 AGM to sort the whole thing out properly for the future.

To repeat on an upnote: the 2019 was, of course, a great event all round. Thanks to all the players, who play hard and in the best sporting spirit, and to all the organisers, to whom we owe a considerable and continuing debt for the very existence of an amazingly long-lived championship infrastructure in Scotland. 

We all love chess but we should sort this out for the future (as Jim Webster suggests in an earlier post) and move on … in accord and clarity!

Have a great day!
