Random Rapid
North Shore CC has decided to put forward a remit at the next NZCF
AGM, as follows:
Motion:
That the AGM amends, effective for the year 2019 onwards, Supplementary
Regulations 4. Registration fees for players, 4.1 Standard Fees, clause
4.1.a) and 4.1.b).
From:
a) Adult players and officials, $20.00.
b) Junior players (under 20 on 1st January) who play in open rated
events, or in club events with adult players, $20.00.
To:
a) Adult players and officials, $1.00.
b) Junior players (under 20 on 1st January) who play in open rated
events, or in club events with adult players, $1.00.
Reason:
The annual player registration fee is detrimental to players who reside
outside major centres. There is very little value for money to be
registered just to participate in a local six-round annual rapid
tournament outside major centres. The currently typical $20 just to play
6 rapid games is too much. This means players who reside outside major
centres are subsidising more active players residing in major centres.
The cost to maintain a single nationwide registered players list is
negligible as everything is online. In terms of time, it should only
take about 10 minutes per month of the NZCF Secretary’s time if the
process is automated. Automated systems could easily handle registering
the entire population of NZ in less than an hour should it happen in a
single month.
A single registered players list available online listing all registered
players nationwide is required. Reducing the annual player registration
fee to practically nothing would have the beneficial effect of
increasing the number of registered players without affecting other NZCF
rules, regulations and systems.
Results may be subject to some corrections, due to unplayed games.
