Would keeping track of honor by paper be considered note taking?

Honor needs to be tracked by either the tokens or a manual dial at FFG tournaments.

I would think taking notes on your honor would be considered taking notes.

By standard FFG logic, yes. I'm not certain why they're so against note taking, but they are.

Maybe to reduce lag, the game would crawl to a halt if i insisted on noting every single action, card og token transaction that happened in the game.

Annoying that they won't let us use spin downs or just write down the totals. Hate having to dump tons of tokens all over the place when it's not at all necessary. I sorta get their reasoning for not allowing spindowns, since I guess someone could cheat or something by nudging the dial. But a written record is even harder to tamper with than tokens, so this rule make no sense to me whatsoever...

They are anti-scouting/etc. They have always been like this.
