Folks,
I feel it's best to move Robin's topic to another post. We don't want to sideline or deflect the original thread. Robin has posted important data and thoughts regarding football, a topic worthy of discussion in it's own rights and premises for chess events. His post has a related connection to the discussion in hand but let's not move away from the thread in hand.
For those who don't know Chess For Kicks (CFK) is a event run by SJC.
In order to increase geographical spread some CFK qualifying heats ( such as the Feb 1st event) are franchised out to other junior organisations ... Oban Chess club, Lenzie Academy, NEJCA spring immediately to mind.
We trust these organistions to run heats to a high standard (not been let down yet) and for that reason we don't routinely send SJC arbiters along.
