I don't think that's the meaning of 'SCO Code' that's been in use in all the discussions, Andy!?
According to your use of the term, GM Matthew Turner also has an English 'code'. But it's always been discussed that Matthew was given a SCO code. However, he does not have the 24 (Scottish) code, he has the 40 for English.
Example here of the use of the term "SCO codes", where Mathew has SCO: https://www.chessscotland.com/documents/...#whitelist
I understand the 'code' you refer to is a first registration country and doesn't change if you transfer!? I imagine the 'code' generally discussed determines current affiliation, or federation.
Perhaps there is some ambiguity over the definition of terms (if so please help clear it up!), but it was surely this 'code' - the one that was in general use here - that the movers of the 2016 motion intended to insist on an eligible player having, so that a transferred player wouldn't have the choice of countries to represent.
But if there was any doubt over the meaning of the terms of the motion I'm sure it would have been a headache.
Cheers
