If the parents of a junior who is not selected in an age category wish to send their child then they pay for flights, accommodation and food throughout their stay. Surely, it is these parents you wish to convert to the idea of looking at the Czech Open or the British? As, I don’t think it would be good for our reputation internationally if we did not take up the fully funded places at the World & Euroyouth tournaments. Perhaps Robin or Andy could confirm this?[

This is exactly how it works. It is up to the selectors to choose juniors they feel are good enough to represent Scotland. If there are none good enough in an individual age category we do not select them. It is entirely up to parents if they wish to send them to events we are not supporting,
