I am not supporting one over the other but I think the discussion needs to take place. I do think its an issue for an AGM rather than a council meeting but this doesn't help for planning towards 2014.
To the end of Scottish "success", in terms of achieving the highest possible finishing position, for either team, should we consider fielding our female GM in the Women's Olympiad team instead of the Open team?
