@streetfighter - thanks
One problem on keeping a fixed board order as previously mentioned is that the lowest graded player always gets weaker opposition eg myself for hamilton , not always fun to play 1800 FIDE rated games when I am 2300 on board 4 in SNCL, this is solved by some measure of rotation, and I believe the majority prefer floating over fixed board order.
My rules always go with the democratic views of the majority.
The noticeboard banter should be taken with a pinch of salt. I deliberately throw in controversial comments to stimulate debate.
