I don't really know the answers here. It was a much easier rule to enforce when FIDE-rated meant over 2200 and the numbers were relatively small. How are we as organizers here supposed to be able to know if every foreign player who shows up is actually a member in good standing of their federation?
Hal? Thoughts?
