Chess Scotland Adult Selection Criteria
#44
I agree with Alex's reasoning.

I also don't think the Championship in the current Open format merits an Olympiad place, because the main idea of a Championship is that the winner beats their rivals. Within the confiines of an Open the draw can play a lively part.

As it happens the recent winners of the Championship have won it decisively, but it won't always happen. A few years back I had an outside chance going into the last round - and I hadn't even pllayed very well!

If the idea goes forward I would suggest another criterion like a mimimum 'rating performance', or a clear margin not a tie break or something like that.

Matthew, how can a player not fit into a team? I'm intrigued...(off to think about players and teams' shapes  Confused )

Cheers
