Rules/Ethics Question from Novi

In Response To: Rules/Ethics Question from Novi (Julia Hayward)

Playing online you are often at the mercy of the software, so that can be an issue. Over the board it can be an easier thing to deal with.

You did say "In any case. the tournament we were in requires match files to be sent, so any attempt to "rectify" the situation would involve tampering with them"

I have played in events where they prefer the logs be sent in. I have had the situation you describe happen, and at the end I have manually spliced a couple logs together. I wanted to point out that although this is "tampering", I see nothing wrong in doing this to overcome the shortfalls of any given software. I will often get requests/email to hack logs together for this purpose.

However for those that are not so tech savvy I would not expect them to go to great lengths to do so, but I don't find it unethical to splice/edit logs.
