You are expected to record your moves. Unless you're in time trouble.
Also depends on the time control. @G/30 I will often try to record my game, but often cannot get through the whole thing. I lose too much clock time writing.
Any slower than G/30, I record everything.

it seems to me that you wish to blame everybody doesn't seem to agree with your point of view the fact of the matter is you broke the rules the rest is academic it's not good you saying it was not your fault the fire started
when you provide the petrol and the matches of course it was your fault so why don't you learn from it and move on
Trust me, i have learned from that situation. Thats like playing with fire. I'm recording all my moves regardless if im winning.
Trevin can you post the game you played against Maurice Ashley? Great pic btw.

we havent played yet bro, still going thru the tournament, definetely challenging lost the first won the second. i always lose my first rounds its a curse i cant get out of. but yeah when we play i'll defenitely do that bro. 3 more rounds to go.
Not recording during a tournament where recording moves is the rule is a form of cheating (unless as mentioned, less than five minutes remain).
The penalty is usually quite small (within reason, it's usually up to the tournament director), though such behaviour is distracting for your opponent while relieving you of the distraction of needing to record your moves, so it often gives you a large advantage over your opponent (perhaps worth about a Knight at most under Expert levels imo). I think such behaviour might reasonably be grounds for banning from future tournaments.
If entrants were allowed to get away with such behaviour, I'd be less likely to enter future events of that character.

ps. Winning through cheating isn't much of a win imo.

does it count if I write down my moves... but you can't read my notation and they don't make sense..? 
If you quit recording your moves you should forfit the game.

you're right... and rules are rules. I've got a lot of scorebooks that don't make sense sometimes... but then... nobody ever gave a crap either.

very valid points... and I agree totally. I started using eNotate so I could cure the handwriting and wrong notation problem. When you get under time pressure and/or moves start happening fast, it can be hard to keep up with writing them down. But one must learn to adhere to the rules the best they can. It stinks when someone points out such an infraction just to try and score the point... but a lesson learned.. I am sure. There are a lot of those nuances to be learned in tourny play as well as rules of etiquette that are sorely often overlooked. (I had someone sit across from me and eat a sandwich during a game once...) just all a part of interacting with other people, some of who are often rude and callous to others feelings.
Just don't even think using eNotate, MonRoi and similar stuff to a FIDE rated tournament: the only device allowed there is called pencil.
I use the advanced eNotate that records my next move before I even make it!

In my last tournament i started beating this guy so bad that i didnt bother to write my last ten moves "to checkmate" i just quickly made my move and hit the clock. He tried to get me for not writing my last moves but i know he was just a sore loser and if it was the other way around i would not cared because he would have won fair and square but i was the other side winning the game so he was mad. but anyways the director was looking in the rule book to try and find out what happens if you dont record your moves, he couldnt find anything on it. So i ask... WHAT IS THE PUNISHMENT IF YOU DONT RECORD YOUR MOVES???
Your opponent could make up 10 fake moves, then claim you made an illegal move, and use his scoresheet to "prove" it.
If he's a good liar, and you're just a lazy SOB, then he could pull it off and swindle a draw or win.
(Although I realize this topic is very old)
Unbelievable.
