One benefit of the sensory boards is that Scottish newspaper chess columnists will suddenly have some material from the Scottish tournament circuit from the PGN files generated. If you are writing up the results of an event you need a game or a tactical snippet and you need it NOW.
Since very few Scottish congresses prepare post event press releases that include games (only a few games are needed) most domestic events are ignored in favour of the much easier option of international tournaments which have readily available games. Scottish games do eventually appear in the downloads section but by that stage the immediate newsworthy aspect has gone and the event is often ignored.
