As they note in the article, there's only a small amount of known courtsiders, they have their pictures, they're taught to look for them. One of the courtsiders even says he just keeps his phone out, because it's his face that gets him caught.
"iirimets said that since just his face is enough to get him kicked out, he doesn’t make much of an effort to hide his cell phone anymore. For Pete, it’s the same. And I can see how they’re both distinctive-looking enough to stick out like sore thumbs—Rainer is tall with close-set eyes and thick eyebrows, while Pete has big, glowing eyes that take up much of his squarish face. The first catch instantly halves the viability of a courtsider’s career; the hundredth means it’s almost pointless to continue."
Yes, I read the article. I'm wondering how they catch those new to the game, how that record gets started. If you're telling me that all they need to do is rotate out the cast, sounds pretty simple, but I naturally doubt that it is just that easy.
