In my view, the junior selection process is taking too long. I don't want to hijack this topic and I'm not looking for any official response.
A quick example is the U16 Olympiad. Which is in Chongqing this year (21-31 July):
An email asking for players availability was sent on the 15th April. A mere three months before the event began. Considering it was in China - player availability should have been sorted out in January at the very latest. As a consequence of this slow process Scotland is not sending a team in spite of the fact that the top three players eligible to play wished to play but two additional players could not be found due in no small part to the tardiness of CS’s attempt to organise a team.
