Playing on a Table or Computer in a Tournament

In Response To: Playing on a Table or Computer in a Tournament (Jason Lee)

I attend about 4 live tournaments a year, and the other 361 days out of the year I'm playing on my computer online. I enjoy playing on a board at these tournaments because of the personal interaction it provides and because I have little opportunity to elsewhere. If two players both agree to play on a computer or tablet, I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed too. My only problem is, what is this going to lead to? Could this be a step toward replacing live tournaments with online ones. Many players may feel that if they're just going to play informally on a computer or tablet, why incur the travel expenses and just play from the comfort of their home.
