The USCF has approved another electronic scoresheet device: The ChessNoteЯ by Black Mirror Studio, LLC, which runs exclusively on Nexus phones.
In our opinion, letting
players record games with phones is a bad decision. It creates cheating
opportunities & places additional burdens on TDs. Monroi, eNotate
& PlyCount devices are easily identifiable. Now, we need to know
what brand phone people are using, ascertain who is using ChessNoter or
an unapproved app & deal with opponents or their parents who are
disturbed by, or jealous of, the new product.
Thus, the Westfield
CC is setting the following rules re: ChessNoter, effective 1/1/2018:
1. A player must inform
the Chief TD of his/her intent to use ChessNoter before round one.
2.
Your device must remain at the board during the game.
3. Any player
violating rules 1 or 2, using other phones or other chess apps is
subject to immediate forfeit & ban.
