Richardson and Spens 2013-14

[JRedpath]

50 points is nothing, I would have voted for more flexibility upwards of 80 points. If you really want to waste time doing opponent based prep for games then you know the pairings weeks in advance, do some homework and prepare for all possible opponents. It is the same for every team, you seem to be under the impression that it helps Hamilton more than any other team, when in reality other teams have just as much opportunity to vary board orders! Grades change year on year, this year Andy Muir will be too highly graded to move down the order, just the way it goes.

I simply don't understand the right to know your opponent in advance, you don't know at weekend congresses, SNCL, Edinburgh/Glasgow Leagues, why should Richardson be any different?
