Three points. . .

#1. It is a fools errand to try and "police" recording. EVERYONE is carrying a video camera in their pocket. Also, I see a lot of parents with SLR cameras taking photos during matches. Are they taking still photos or are they recording? LOL!

#2 The rule is written to govern the conduct of schools and how the school handles video recording. IMO it pertains only to school personnel. It does not relate to parents or siblings who are not members of the school team.

#3. The video rules came into existence in the mid to late 70's when VCRs were first becoming available. They were, for the time, immensely expensive. They represented a competitive disadvantage as some schools had them, but many did not. It is a rule that has no meaning anymore.
