Premetto che la mia prima risposta conteneva un ERRORE. Rispondere alle 3 di notte evidentemente non è una buona scelta.
Gli appunti che prendi durante un game puoi consultarli ovviamente durante tutto il match in corso.
Non puoi consultarli però durante un altro match.

cioè cosa viene definito esattamente "appunti" ?
perchè ad esempio tenersi su un fogliettino le carte di duress in g1 ad esempio è considerato come "prendere appunti" ?
Gli appunti sono tutto ciò che ti scrivi durante un match a proposito o meno della partita in corso. Ti riporto quanto trovi in merito sul regolamento:

2.9 Taking Notes
Players are allowed to take written notes during a match and may refer to those notes while that match is in progress. At the beginning of a match, each player’s note sheet must be empty and must remain visible throughout the match. Players do not have to explain or reveal notes to other players. Judges may ask to see a player’s notes and/or request that the player explain his or her notes. Players may not refer to outside notes during games. This includes notes from previous matches.
Between games, players may refer to a brief set of notes made before the match. They are not required to reveal these notes to their opponents. These notes must be removed from the play area before the beginning of the next game. Excessive quantities of notes – more than a sheet or two - are not allowed and may be penalized as slow play.
Players and spectators (exception: authorized press) may not make notes while drafting or registering a card pool. However, they are allowed to do so when constructing a deck.
Artistic modifications to cards that indirectly provide minor strategic information are acceptable. The Head Judge is the final arbiter on what cards and notes are acceptable for a tournament.
Ecco spiegato il motivo, ad esempio, per il qualche i blocchetti segnapunti "ufficiali" che vengono dati dalla DCI ai tornei grossi lasciano lo spazio per segnare le vite di un match per pagina.

permettere alla gente di portarsi le sidate "precotte" da casa è semplicemente ridicolo !!! C'è per caso una motivazione di questa nuova introduzione?
La capacità di memorizzare come saidare in un determinato matchup non è più considerata una skill richiesta per il gioco. Alla fine le ricette prefatte non sono mai perfette e chi sa come saidare bene lo farà sempre meglio di chi si affida ad istruzioni ricopiate da qualche parte.
Fermo restando che ci sono sempre 3 minuti di tempo per completare tutte le procedure pregame (saidare, mescolare e presentare il mazzo all'avversario).
Ti riporto in merito le spiegazioni di Toby Elliott, l'arbitro di quinto livello che sovraintende l'aggiornamento delle policy DCI:

5) When I alluded to parallels with the M10 rules changes, I'll bet everyone immediately wondered what our version of Rule 5 would be. And here it is: players may now look at outside notes between games.
The impetus for this change arose out of some painful questions about sideboards. Are sideboard cards with a dot on them considered marked? What if the dots are differently colored? What if it's ordered? If my friend looks through my limited sideboard and shuffles a couple cards I might want to play to the top, is that Outside Assistance? (Remarkably, under some interpretations, the answer to all of the above was 'yes'). In trying to find solutions that worked, the idea of simply not worrying between games came up and turned out to be an elegant solution.
Like the M10 rule 5, I suspect it will turn out to generate a lot more noise than actual impact. The good players realize that sideboarding is a fine art and can't be brute-forced by a set of notes; even more so they may seek to exploit players who are locked into previously determined plans. Most people didn't have that hard a time memorizing the sideboarding for basic matchups, so the incremental advantage is small. Players are, of course, still held to the same between-game time-limits.
Related to this, there are new guidelines on acceptable card modifications, and we're not going to worry as much about minor strategic information. If a player has altered a Tinker to show a Darksteel Colossus emerging, or written "Smash with Me!" on a Goblin Piledriver, odds are fairly high that they didn't need the help in game. Obviously, writing out ste-by-step combo guides on cards is still out, and the Head Judge has ultimate authority over where the line is.
