The good thing is there is now a working party that are going to resolve this. I was merely pointing out that the usage of code has different meanings. If I recall correctly Dougie made a minor amendment to the motion to change it to Country to get around this, but the initial wording was indeed ambiguous!
If you are wanting clear definitions
FIN - Player number assigned to players by FIDE containing a Country Code (normally 2 or 3 characters) and the players number
Country Designation - The three letter ISO 3166-1 alpha 3 code of a countries name
So SCO code can be either the Country code (40) or the ISO 3166-1 alpha 3 code but this was not defined in the motion hence I also believe this rendered it incompetent.
As an aside, I am also not going to be involved with the running of the Scottish this year. I have a residential part of my Uni course at the same time. I had thought about trying to get the dates changed so I could be there, but after what has happened and Alex's resignation because of it, I don't have the appetite to do so
