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.
