RE: 2020 Chess 2018-19: Scotland Qualifier! - Alex McFarlane - 24-01-2019

From your website: Alexander Taylor: Head ECF Qualified Arbiter

Can you please explain this statement?

Alex Taylor is listed as Cat 1 arbiter on the ECF website. That means he has passed the test but not that he is qualified. Qualification requires level 2 status.
Even if he is level 2 he is not the Head ECF Qualified Arbiter, that surely is Lara Barnes. Head Arbiter (ECF Qualified) might be a better way of putting it.

If the ECF website contains his correct status then it would be more accurate to say Our Head Arbiter has passed the exam but is not qualified as he has not yet satisfied the assessment requirements.
I know that a significant number of English people are trying hard to get the assessments required to be classed as qualified. It is not fair to them if someone just assumes the title.

I have updated the website accordingly, thank you for clarifying.
