The rules for eligibility are on the website but are given below for reference.
A: Eligibility
1. Those with Scottish nationality regardless of residence.
2. Those permanently resident in Scotland for one year immediately preceding the date of the Championship *
3. Those who have competed in the Championship (with eligibility to become Scottish Champion) within the previous five years.
4. In addition to one of the above the player must be a member of Chess Scotland at the beginning of the event. *
The term “permanently resident” does not include university students or other such residence of a transitory nature.(*Amended Aug 30, 2010)
I see no reason to change them.
Andrew, I believe the 'grandfather' amendment will be an item for the proposed EGM.
Why are you going to consult only players over 2300? It could affect selection for junior events as well. The entire picture must be looked at and not just one small area in isolation.
