Update:

For our SCC club championship section, handing in of the carbon score sheets is " voluntary " ( it is a 10-player round robin of 6 masters, 3 experts and 1 A Class player ). We collect games into our SCC Games Database that we have collected for a few years now and then give the games back to the members.

Now one player in the championship section has formally given notice to the club that he refuses to hand in his score sheet ( which he has a right to do ). He feels it is an unfair playing field if he cooperates with the club and voluntarily hands it in, when other players are refusing to hand their games in. They will have games to prepare against him, and he will have no games to use to prepare against them.

He also states that he understands that the club members would like the championship games to play over, for both enjoyment and learning. He would be quite happy to do this if ALL players handed in games ie. the policy was "mandatory ". But as long as it is " voluntary " he refuses.

What do you think of his position?

Should SCC change the policy to make handing in the carbons " mandatory "?
