Andy,
The answer to your question as to the provision of clocks, is that our players provide them.
DGT who supply the clocks for FIDE do not make a clock that can be used by the blind.
They were approached, but they wanted 25000 Euros just to develop the prototype!! Our Friends from Spain developed the clock I use.
By the way It does not matter if the event is organised by CS or not, it does not alter the fact that FIDE conditions would apply in any case
What would you do if the blind/visually impaired player did not have the appropriate equipment ?
