Round 5 - foreign flag players (rule 5):

We have received an alert from Team Karagandy about this match:

https://www.chess.com/club/matches/1913625

Ulster has 3 foreign-flag players out of 7. #3 and #7 are regular (one in each block of 4 players is allowed). #4 (@igor0230) is irregular, and his games will be counted as lost for Ulster.

I will try and keep watch on this more. They are all long term members of Ulster.
