Hi all
I have been reviewing the Richardson Cup and Spens cup and would like to implement the following:
A registration form should be filled out for all players intending to play in either the Richardson or Spens cup and sent to me. I intend to publish team lists on the Chess Scotland website , possibly on the forum
Bona Fide players should be registered in the grading list as being members of that club, or demonstrate either club membership or participation in a graded club championship or played for the club in a regional league although I will accept additional players who are registered with me up to one week before the tournament deadline, providing a reasonable explanation of club affiliation. After that players must be registered up to week before each round by sending an email to me, subject to my approval of bona fide membership.
These players should not be registered for the Richardson cup for any other club this year.
The 30 mile limit is scrubbed.
As both tournaments are FIDE rated it is essential that national affiliation is sorted out. If a player for example is a foreign national and wish to play they must be registered with their national chess body. Domestic (Scottish) players must be registered with the SCO affiliation with the chief grader.
If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know
