Taking notes at Comp Rel sealed

Hey! Just wondering if there was anything in policy regarding spectators taking notes during the deck building portion of Sealed.
MTR specifically refers to no note taking by spectators during drafting but I can't find a mention of sealed.

No, it's not specifically prohibited; perhaps because it happens so rarely?

All the same, there's not a lot of value in those notes. They can't be shown to anyone during the deck build, so they can't influence deck build choices. They can't be consulted during games. The only real value is in mulligan decisions (very limited application) and, occasionally, sideboarding decisions.

If it becomes problematic, we will consider addressing it.
