I routinely record my hand in my scorecard (in events that won't deliver hand records). Sometimes i make a mark as a reminder that i want to discuss the hand later, and why.
Is that a violation, then? It seems wrong to make everyone wait after the hand while i do this.
I would consider it a violation by the same argument that I used against writing down the auction.
Presumably you find the time to do this while other players are thinking about the current hand, since you are appropriately concerned not to keep them waiting. I can see no legal reason why you could not instead write down the
previous board's auction and/or hand during this time instead. You might find this a distraction from the current hand, of course, but that is nobody's problem but yours, and there is no legal prohibition against using hindrances to memory
A serious practical problem with recording hands and/or auctions during an event where the boards will be played in a subsequent round is the risk of accidentally revealing that information to other players, which would certainly put you in jeopardy of a PP. Not likely to be an issue during a KO or Swiss Team event, however.
