Andy M, I don’t think horse-trading would be right unless I agreed with the motion or thought it should be debated.
The only ones I think I could support or put up for debate are 1 and 2 and I’m sure they’re not the ones you need support for.
Andy B is giving you good advice about debating them here first
BTW Your Number 6 – why do they have to overlap? Have you asked Alex? I would presume they wouldn’t overlap if they didn’t have to so I don’t think this will get far other than you being told the reason they overlap!
Number 7 is just a statement - you need an ‘action’ or it will be ruled not competent.I'd be uneasy anyway about blanket calls for people to do things - a better idea might be to have the selections early and give training to those that accept (but I don't like that much either...
)
I think you should drop these two also 4 (outlandish) and remove the sacking reference in 5 and explain your reasons for the other part.
Cheers
Andy Muir's proposals:
1. The Scottish Champion must be SCO FIDE affiliated.
2. Having a Scottish grandparent is insufficient eligibility to represent Scotland. This shall not appear in any eligibility rules.
3. Matt Turner will be considered for the Olympiad as a wildcard due to services to chess, subject to agreement of the reamining team members.
4. There shall be no selection oversight position. International Directors shall be solely responsible for selections.
5. Directors shall serve a one-year term. (As in football, bad managers should be sacked promptly)
6. The Scottish Championships shall not overlap the Glorney Cup dates (our top players rarely play in the Glorney and haven't won for 50 years)
7. Our top juniors, having received training, are expected to play in the Glorney Cup each year.
