Eureka! The solution is in 'cockpit voice and video recording' for all flights, easily achieved with commonly available matchbox size cameras with prices beginning at $35. At 720p resolution, a medium capacity microSD card would save the whole flight; a small external source for power supply will be needed. Everything still way more compact than the photo cameras we used in the past to take pictures of the turning points. Any illicit help from the ground (radio or image) would be recorded. The recordings provided along with the IGC logs, checked at random and/or on demand. A substantial penalty for a missing recording. Garmin Virb and latest GoPro cameras (higher price mark) provide geo-referencing, too. How many cars drive these days with 'dash cameras'?

130 competitors flying 6 hrs+, you would be staring at 800 hrs of videos per day in WGC. Should be doable by 100 volunteers over night, though. But what if pilot have a small in-ear headphone for listening to radio?
