No. Although it is unlikely, you are stopping any unrated player from gaining the title. More importantly, you are stopping them from being able to say they competed for the Scottish Championship. I strongly believe that all titles should be played for under the same qualification rules. THe Scottish Boys' and Girls title should have the same qualification as should the women's if reinstated. Under your definition, Joy Malarky, who has represented Scotland (ignore her WFM title here) would not be able to win the Scottish Wmen's title because she is unrated. That is the silly part of your motion and MUST be taken care of.
