Patiently reading the thread I'm still interested in the fundamental point whether there are any competition rules out in the sports world that state different rules for participants only based on their anticipation of outcome und aspirations - instead of clear and even rules for all (e.g. winning a medal = doping test)? I imagine Saudi-Arabia and Panama claiming for the upcoming soccer worldchampionships that they do not expect even quarterfinals, so they do not need to abide to offside rules etc.

Besides fingerpointing on individuals and ease or not of recording this seems very important. The "pros" can argue again and again that it has no impact on newbies on casuals. It will inevitably seen by many as "we are participants of second order" which can't be plausibly denied. On the other hand there is NO reliable line from when on someone really has to care for reliable recording. The argument "we need recordings only in case of doubt and you only have to stick to the rules" does not work IMHO, not the less because the accuser has the burden of prove. In real life the acucused has the right to remain silent.

Bottom line: If recording is all that easy and not thing at all: Why not make it mandatory for all? Why not? It is no burden and it is said to help so much. So go forward. Cheating happens on ALL levels of competition. Why not get cheaters early in their career when a penalty still can have an influence other than in a later stage of a cheater's career? Recording is cheap and easy, so make it mandatory if it is that helpful to get cheaters.
