2018 Ratings Motions

The result of this is now known.

Motion 2)
Only approved accounts can now be used to submit tournaments to the EGD.

I am a bit surprised at this, because the text "we want to propose that all submitting accounts in EGD must be approved by the EGF member representing the country where the tournament takes place" is pretty restrictive. Coming from there, I have to wonder if the meeting clarified what happens to tournaments held in Northern Ireland. Goodbye to tournaments from Estonia.

My understanding is that this went through at the end of the meeting. Also, I spoke to Spanish players at the EGC (from Madrid I think) who told me that they were not in favour of the motion. Sadly, the British Go Association voted for the motion.

Technically, and it will only be technically, it means that international events like the KPMC and the WAGC can no longer be submitted and approved.
