If only we could

In Response To: If only we could (phil simborg)

Face-to-face tournaments can be noisy, are susceptible to human error, and require players to count their own pips. But those who attend them love the social aspect and the different skill set required.

Let's not try to convert face-to-face tournaments into online tournaments. There are already many online tournaments for people to play in. They're fun too, but it's a different type of fun.

I think the rules should explicitly say that players are not allowed to play on computer. (Players shouldn't even have access to a computer during a match.)

My two cents.
