Good tournament, real shame we don't have an SC overall one this year like this - maybe next year. The boys' one being run by SC does have lots of age sections, but obviously girls aren't eligible. A good idea for future years might be an overall Scottish Junior event that simply has best boy/girl recognition across the various age groups ; that will encourage and recognise more girls (as there would be more age categories for them to compete in). Even better if we run two: one standard grading (perhaps over a weekend) and one (1 day) allegro - that will provide good comparisons (across all players, sexes, age groups at once).
Currently the only one that's really done that this year is this SJC one.
