Nowhere did I state it would be a foolproof solution.

I've been able to cease cell phone activity at the table before, it's not that hard to do if it is enforced that those working table must have their full focus on the game.

Whether you said it or not, you always have an answer. You don't seem to understand that not every scoring table issue can be solved by your methods. None of us have all the answers.

That's great. I can stop it too, once I see it occur. I can even talk about it in the pre-game. But kids are kids and some are just going to do what they want to not matter what is said.
