这样什么事情国家机构（National Sports Association - NSA）才可以协助，也可以和国家liaise.

选拔赛是为了选拔国家队员？

only the top players and the reserves will be able to rep singapore (as national players) in 2015. If so, the Team of 13 are not national players but rather national player candidates. Once the actual players are selected, the rest become redundant. At most they can be part of a group of sparers to train with the actual national team, but they will not have the chance to be part of the 2015 national team again. Based on the reality that normal players also have at least career and family committments, it will be impractical to have numerous selection games in a year.

Technically speaking this selection method will be equivalent to a national game group A tourney whereby only players minimally Rated Class 1 (RC1) or who has certain rating points are allowed to play in.

If this was the case, then at the start whether the candidates are the NSA's members is not important. But once they are selected as national Team Playes, they do need to be members as both parties will be in a contractual relationship whereby both sides interests will be well looked after. If players are not members, then it will be hard for the NSA to justifying the deployment of resources to assist them.

One thing though, the NSA will need to ensure especially during the later stage of the national team appointment period, the players are still members as valid period of national team status and NSA's membership can be very different

make it easier to forecast potential funds from membership for that year and make it simplier for SIXGA manager to collect the membership fees using this new system as it is only done at the start of the year which is when generally people has more funds at hand. It should get SIXGA more funds overall as players who wait till the national games will be treated as new members and so have to pay more. Of course, during that time, there was no concrete plan to implement the national team system, so it was not taken into account.

The national team director, I believe, already has a working plan for the national team system. The friendly discussion here is more for discussion purpose to help those not in the loop of SIXGA like most of us to better understand how some of the system work and thus reducing misconceptions and misunderstandings.

If we want all the national team candidate to be members, it might be a good idea to get all participants of the national games to be members. Someone calcualted before to me, it is actually cheaper to join as members. For those who dont join as members for the national games, we can simply allow them to participate but they wont be eligible for prizes, entry to national team selection and other benefits etc. This will also reduce the adminstrative hussle of getting them to register as members. The decision to be eligible for benefits will be made by the individual particpants themselves on the onset of the national games.
