The Laws of Chess

[Ianbrownlee]

I think (and I hope) that common sense will be applied when it comes to these rules in Scotland.

Are we going to prevent Parents from being in the playing room?

As for bringing phones to the venue at say SNCL. The laws seem to indicate that a lesser penalty can be imposed. So at the start of each round the arbiter does a public warning to all en mass who have a phone with them. That should cover it nicely?

the problem with that is having possession of the phone not just switched off so if we come to the SNCL where do we put our phones, computers (which can be used as communication devices) etc, and again insurance etc comes into play
