Whatever shape this takes I look forward to participating / watching with interest. Hope to get to a Scots tourney or two in the next few months. Nice to see things becoming more and more joined up. Thumbs up!

I wasn't implying that the Dragon wasn't Scottish or something worth winning. And I wasn't questioning your degree of Scottish-ness.
As I saw the Topic, there was a concern that making the Scottish tournaments open would dilute the Scottish participation. However, there was interest to get recognised by the NAF and that this dilution was just a consequence; desirable or otherwise.
I was playing devil's advocate by suggesting that making attendance to some distant venue, from us 'lowlanders', mandatory would further decrease participation from folks who had to travel from even further afield and keep the proportion of Scots up. I am not capable of supplying venues or gaming opportunities in the Highlands, as I, too, am a southern softie. I also hinted that trying to influence who turns up is completely fail. For example, if you do make a success of a Northern British circuit, you cannot prevent it being won by a hyper competitive Londoner willing to travel or a student (from any location) at a local institution.
Probably the most disappointing thing about my (first) post was that my ;-) smilie didn't work. Dang. :-(
