Video Recording of Matches

In Response To: Video Recording of Matches (Bill Riles)

I would never object to someone recording one of my matches, taking pix of positions that come up, or writing down positions on position cards. But not everyone feels that way so I agree with Kit and Neil that a player should have the right to not have their match recorded. The fact that every move and cube action will be analyzed could have a negative impact on some player's games.

I've never seen or heard of anyone prohibiting pix to be taken or positions jotted down but I still think players should have that right as well. Knowing that the oppt might take a pic or jot down the position might cause a player to not double when he otherwise would out of fear of being criticized later if doubling turns out to be wrong.

We need more players in this great game, not fewer, so we can't afford to piss off any of the current ones.
