"There couldn't be a verbal understanding with the proposer that expanded eligibility - as the stated intent was to restrict eligibility, as everyone knew. Not unless the proposer was duped or something." - Walter Buchanan
But the amendment did expand eligibility. Under the proposed wording neither Jacob Aagaard nor Donald Heron and many others would have been able to win the Scottish or Scottish Senior titles. Keti Arakhamia-Grant would not have qualified either.
The wording of the original motion was so bad that I actually consider the accepted amendment to be a major change and therefore should not have been allowed. You seem to be in agreement with that opinion from your statement.
