Then it's not SOLELY for tracking STRATEGY!

(I would also note that "for the purposes of communicating that strategy to other ALLIANCE members" is going to be really interesting--kind of hard to use the camera info in this match, for some reason. But does that part of the rule include future alliance members?)

Wearable cameras could be considered as clothing, or clothing accessories (reasonable decorative items?), and thus legal for obvious reasons.

You'll notice that I'm really pushing the rules to the letter here. I agree, this is a gray area. Wouldn't be the first time someone's pushed the gray areas a bit and gotten called by the GDC or officials by using some serious rule-interpreting... And I can't say that I'm not sympathetic to the teams here.


What I think would solve this would be for the GDC to specifically call out cameras as being illegal, OR, specifically call out cameras as legal provided that any wireless is off. I rather suspect that the latter would be the way to go.

Someone want to remember to ask Q&A next season? I think this would be a good one. Or maybe ask Frank before the season.

Cameras being called legal would be in firsts best interest. They don't provide any competitive advantage and create promotional material.
