Each federation needs to specify specific venues where their juniors travel to for being monitored by an arbiter, who links in with a central arbiter team. A venue had been arranged as the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel (Glasgow Strathclyde). However given the tightening COVID-19 restrictions from Monday the 14th of September, we have no option but ask the European Chess Union for special dispensation to be able to compete at home (ensuring that webcam stipulations are adhered to as much as possible).

In these current times, all arrangements are always subject to change as per COVID-19 regulations.
