This isn't true in Scotland. Whether you think it is old-fashioned terminology is irrelevant, 1st claim etc is still the way it is.

A rule, regulation or condition cannot be policed until it is written so you cannot be "dobbed in" however naughty it is.

In England the club that pays the fees is the "FEE PAYING CLUB" The ranked club is swimmer choice but defaults to the fee paying club.

Since the NAG and Youth are english events then the scottish rules are not valid in this competition.

This is right. Right to claim is a side issue.
