Note Taking in Old and Current Formats

[Willyazaa]

Hey, I'm holding a 2010 (DP-UL) Tournament and was trying to make sure I had the correct ruling on note taking regarding Azelf's "Time Walk" Poke-Power. People I asked who played in 2010 said you could take notes on the content of your prizes and your opponent couldn't look at them, like it is in the current format. However, I looked at Compendium Lv X and the 09-10 Rule Book, and both documents say you cannot take notes on the contents of your prizes, and all notes are public knowledge for your opponent.

Normally I would just go by those rules, but because they are so different from what everyone I've talked to seems to remember, I figured it'd be safest to check.

What was the rule on Note Taking and Prize Content used at the 2010 World Championships?

Thanks!

Moving to a discussion forum.
We have enough trouble keeping up to date on the current rulings, we don't recall the old ones well enough to give a definitive answer.

In December 2010, notes became private knowledge and you could take them on prizes. Prior to that, you could not take them on prizes and your opponent could request to see them at any time. Worlds was in August, so the old rules applied.
