Matt,
The costs involved at all levels of Scottish junior International chess are frightening. There is no back door route or easy way in.
However, everyone needs to try and get things in perspective as far as far as supporting your child at international events. It's not cheap, a long term commitment is needed and deep pockets are helpful.
What do you achieve from it?...
As a parent- the pleasure, pride and satisfaction that your child will have represented your country at the pinnacle world events.
As a junior- On your cv for prospective employers/ university places...you have represented Scotland at events at home and abroad.
Money well spent?
