LeGrazie: I agree with every point that you raised save one. When you say "I suppose this decision technically applies only to CESA, but now how could the rules be applied otherwise." -- actually the technical language is quite clear, to wit:
*All SCYSA clubs, including CESA, will immediately cease the advertising or promoting of a “partnership” with any other SCYSA clubs.
Note the language -- they specifically went out of their way to require all SCYSA clubs with CESA mentioned as only a subclause. It doesn't get much clearer than that.
I've been for Bridge FA since the day it was announced (see my every posting on this subject). I do not take any pleasure in pointing out the obvious clarity of the language that the SCYSA is using.
If you're wondering why the SCYSA addressed it when it wasn't raised in Ron Tryon's original complaint, it's because [I'm told by incredibly reliable sources] that Ron Tryon raised an objection to partnerships in the actual complaint meeting and added the elimination of partnerships to his list of demands to the SCYSA.
