Everything you display on your computer can be caught on video. Don't know if livestream is any different.

Or what do you mean.

Also need permission to tape (privacy, rights etc)

The point is that you don't need to create an account to watch the games on the ICS. You can log on as a guest, with any name of your choosing that is not in use by others.

Ok but would you object if someone would create a video of this event and put it on youtube.

OK, that's for watching, but what about participating with an engine? Also possible with guest account?

Can we try to really collect all games from now on (with all info included)?
Regrettably, I cannot be there tonight and also have to leave for nearly a week, because of an accident in my family.

Seems non-registered users can NOT take part with engines. Which is a pity since I had been asking that. :(

Oh, sorry, I only see that now. Indeed, in an automated tourney unregistered users cannot participate, as the tourney manager wants to vet the ratings, and unregistered users do not have one.

If you want an account, just PM me an e-mail address and an account name, and I can create them.
