The point of the guidelines is pretty clear. They are to establish that a player cannot be barred because of disability. The onus is on tournament organisers to provide an alternative accommodation that is accessible for disabled players. In regards to FIDE rated events, if a disabled player was to enter such an event, and they could not provide alternative accommodation in the case of the original venue being unsuitable, then that event cannot be rated by FIDE.
The motion is perfectly legitimate and is needed to bring CS into line with FIDE on this matter.
Robin, I do know that a lot of tournament organisers do their best for disabled players, but the point is there is no legislation in writing to cover this. This motion seeks to cover this. I do think these guidelines should be adopted for local events as well as for FIDE rated events
