Yeah, I'd say that's still your real name, just not exactly/legally. And the question was about real, not about exact. Didn't sound like he's asking about something like Dan/Daniel but about calling himself Superman or bestcuber42 or Barack Obama or Stefan Sucks when his real name is nothing like it.Originally Posted by masterofthebass
Legally it's Daniel Robert Cohen, right?
Ok :3
All in all, maybe we should have an ID check mandatory for all new competitors. Just to be sure. Abbreviations of names (Daniel -> Dan) being acceptable.
The biggest problem with this is that we have a number of quite young competitors, and in some countries, many young competitors don't really have a reliable form of ID. I suppose most have some sort of birth certificate, but of course there's no picture to verify that it's theirs. An ID check would make it a little more reliable, but it could still be cheated, and it would potentially cause hardship for competitors. Imagine a parent of a 9-year-old who just brought their son or daughter 150 miles to a competition, only to discover that their child is not allowed to compete without a valid ID, which they didn't bring. I'm quite sure it would lead to at least a few ugly scenes.
Note that this is not saying we can't do this - it's merely pointing out that there is a price to pay for doing it. I'm not looking forward to being the person to tell a parent something like that someday, but I'll do it if I have to, I guess.
