    Most of the larger tournaments have a limited time set for delaying the game. As long as that person does not delay the game beyond the rules I don't have a problem with them having notes. Having all the notes you can still does not translate into hitting shots.

    Quoted from TaylorVA:

    Bring notes Wednesday.

    Ha! I probably should. Or I could just spike my competitor's drinks with tranquilizers.

    Quoted from bkerins:

    We'll talk it over, but in my opinion such a cheat sheet should not be allowed. I feel this is unethical to do while playing the game, it should just be you and the game. While it's not your turn, go to freakin' town. Coaching during a turn is not allowed, so why should coaching via a cheat sheet be any different?

    I'm convinced. It does fall in the area of coaching. So, if coaching is not allowed I can see notes being excluded, too.

    We had a cheat sheet last night for our league games. It said, "Make the shot."

    I feel like we all have enough notes available with the factory scoring notes on the apron. The rest is up to the player.

    This is not an open book test. Come prepared.
