In Response To: No Phones during a Match (Phil Simborg)

I'm ok banning cell phone use during matches but am not ok with banning ipods etc... Your fear of being cheated is not real. After that, do you know what someone would have to do to be able to pull this off? How is their partner in crime going to be able to see the dice/board/positions to be able to input the position into a bot and relay them the information? It can be done and I know how, but again, the likelyhood of this happening is roughly 0%. The likelyhood of this happening and not getting caught is even closer to 0.

If you want something to bitch about with ipods a lot of them can carry out the same functions as a phone. I could just as easily pretend to be shuffling through my music while instead I'm looking at a MET.
