but assuming the only reason to play from the same location is for the purposes of cheating, is ridiculous.
[/ QUOTE ]No, its not. Its smart. If any site allowed you to do this, I would instantly stop playing there. I'm sure that many feel like me.

I don't assume that the ONLY reason to play from the same location is to cheat. I believe that some people out there really do like to play tourneys together in this way.
But it's obvious that they can't freaking allow this because it would make cheating extremely easy (even though it kind of already is with IM and cell-phones, etc).
I suspect that if they allowed this for super-duper exceptions where they could really prove that it's just a bunch of relatives who can probably be trusted that EVEN THEN there would be cheating incidents because the temptation to say something to your bud when you get at the same table would be just too great even for people who didn't even intend on cheating in the first place.
