Well it was if your club awarded master points, two clubs I used to play at didn't.


Yes, my understanding is that clubs which rarely held duplicate pairs but held other games are no longer permitted "direct" membership, and so cannot participate in the NICKO etc. This was a very poor decision.

Your understanding is wrong, and also an odd non-sequitur from the post you quoted.

Yes, we could have joined, BUT would have had to participate in P2P and nobody was interested in doing the resulting admin. I believe the 3 8 board teams matches that we played on 2 tables rendered us ineligible for master points (not that we cared), and I'm not sure how the EBU would make use of the scores, not that they ever got put on a computer anyway.

I also don't know how the EBU would deal with sessions that got cancelled as they not infrequently did when we didn't have 8.

There was extensive dialog between our club and the EBU, and the EBU confirmed that basically we were stuffed.
