It’s even worse. They don't have to type in the pgn files.
Its already been done.
Rule number 6 states on page http://www.dcs.qmw.ac.uk/~olympiad/chess.htm
6. At the end of each game, the participants are required to hand the Tournament
Director a game listing (in PGN format) on floppy disk, as well as the paper
score sheet.
We should also know that the person who is running the MSO Mind Sports Olympiad,
David N.L. Levy, is also the President of the ICCA International Computer Chess
Association. So there can be no finger pointing, it’s their fault.
