1.  As far as I am aware, no contest sponsor has yet to request that you record the contest.

2.  Self-recordings by those intent on cheating are worthless.  With today's technology, one
can modify anything "recorded" without leaving a trace.  

3.  Perhaps YOUR self-recorded HONEST effort could be used to validate what the CHEATERS
say happened.  Or maybe the concept of corroborative EVIDENCE never entered you mind?

4.  Some have demonstrated here that they can think like a contest sponsor/log-checker.  If
you are HONEST, try thinking along the lines of HOW DO WE CATCH THE CHEATERS.  Then, 
maybe, you will have a different perspective.  

Think about: Defend the sport, not yourself.

I hate to hearken back to the (good or bad) old days, but I like the concept of
TRUST BUT VERIFY
