Another technology issue for TD to think about - Tablet Human to Human play

In Response To: Clock Terminology (Bill Riles)

With the imminent release of XG for the IPAD/IPHONE any day now....TDs at both local, national and international events will need to deal with players that desire to play matches on devices with human to human play capability.

1) Will they be allowed....? IMO...yes, if both players agree.

2) What happens in a glitch..? Battery dies or some other incident and the match disappears and players disagree on match score and/or current game position. (ex..fix could be simple....Match score should still be kept on paper .....just like current US rule!)

3) What about settings.... allow pip count display or not or leave up to players? Definitely tutor must be off and hints disabled or not allowed under some severe penalty (forfeit game or match).

4) How to integrate with clock rules... Clock is on XG mobile improvement wish list.

I am sure this is not complete list just to get thoughts going.....
