US Rules

1.5 AIDS. Once a match is in progress, players shall not use written, mechanical or electronic aids except to keep score.

I've never heard of anyone not allowing you to write down a position on a position card if you like. I'm also pretty sure if someone tried to deny you that the tournament director would tell them to go to hell.

A couple things you should do when playing live is make sure to wait until your opponent's dice are completely off the board and in his cup. You're in no hurry, don't rush. This will make sure you don't roll early and help keep you at a methodic pace.

Use only one hand when moving the checkers. This is not only a rule, but it should also help you visualize long term. A large number of players use both hands to move the checkers, this can cause confusion and lead to positions where neither play know what the *original* position was.

I'm sure there are more things to remember for live play, but those are the two biggest that come to my mind.
