I assume this is the clause that comes into play:
Does this mean that these players:Players whose FIDE affiliation is or will be ENG must be (Junior) Platinum or (Junior) Gold members of the ECF. Where they are not then a fee of £11.00 for each such player will be charged to the event. If (and only if) the player was already a (Junior) Silver member that £11.00 will be applied to upgrade their membership to (Junior) Gold and a link for organisers to make an early report of such players is given later.
Players whose FIDE affiliation is not ENG will incur a per capita fee of £1.50, charged to the event, unless of course they happen to be (Junior) Platinum or (Junior) Gold members of the ECF
- Don't need to be member of the ECF
- will have their games rated for FIDE
- will also have their game ECF rated (critical point since their opponents want the games to be ECF rated)
- all for £1.50 (and not £11.00+£1.50 = £12.50)
- I'll just need to ask for a grading code and pay the fee to the ECF?
