I fear there's not much hope of this as both sides think there right . Rules are rules , but at the detriment of the sport in Scotland , there's no true winner as everyone in Scotland is loosing out on a true national , but fanciers are very quick to split and form smaller concerns when true competition faces them , harder to change things from the outside than it is from within . I feel the big problem is that the problem is the shorter races is where all the money is earned rather than the distance races and the national suffers as they have no subsidy from the shorter races , then the fees get higher for birdage and many can't afford to send many , only way to make the distance races more profitable is to reduce the birdage cost and have better prize money for distance racing then there be more incentive to race in the SNFC events .Also the grouping of these races reduce entry's itself 2 to 3 week gaps between races would also increase birdage
