I don't really see that bonus related pay (in the context) is really going to work. However, I have nothing against your other ideas.
In the context of developing the Scottish team longer term then spending £5000 on the Olympiad may not be the best use of money. However, I think there should be room for longer term development AND sending a 'representative' team. Parents of Scottish juniors spend tens of thousands each year on chess, so the money is there, but how can Chess Scotland help people use the resources for the best development of Scottish chess - not easy.
