Hi Adam,
I meant that the whole event should be graded - just as meaningless as having your games ECF graded but at least it is fair and equitable.
If one of your non-Scottish players is a member of CS then a racial discrimination case is possible in that he is being forced to join the 'wrong' national association.
If there are any female players then a sex discrimination case should not be ruled out. It is amazing just how many unbelieveable things can be covered by this. The CAA threatened to take such action against the ECF when it was treating arbiters and coaches differently. The then CEO of the ECF checked the situation and backed down.
Obviously an English player gets more benefit from ECF membership than you will. This inequality leaves them open.
I have no problem with membership of a national association being insisted on. It is the specification of which one that causes the problem.
