Re: Bluetooth at competitions

I suggest asking Big Al at your next meeting.

His answer, like mine, will be NOT official, and therefore NOT once and for all. His might carry a little more weight than mine, though, partly because he's the Chief Inspector, and thus a little more versed in the intricacies of the rules than I am.



Now, unofficially, I can't find anything in the 2014 Administrative Manual that would by itself prevent a bluetooth network, or any other type of network, wired or wireless, provided that it does not connect to the Internet or attempt to do so (Section 4.15). Not having seen the 2014 Game Manual, I can't comment on what may or may not be in there regarding wireless networking and use thereof.
