Yes, a TD CAN require Live Scoring.
PDGA Competition Manual 1.05.G
By telling the group they must use (for example) PDGA Live Scoring as the official scorecard and uDisc as the backup, that meets the first part (providing two scorecards). And it meets the last part: ....the Tournament Director has designated as the official scoring method for the tournament.
I believe the TD should put the scoring requirement into the tournament sign-up information so players can download the appropriate apps in advance. At this year's Memorial, PDGA Live scoring was the official method with uDisc as backup...some players were downloading one or both of the apps prior to their tee time. If there won't be paper scorecards as an option for the backup, that also should be announced on the registration page.....

PDGA Competition Manual 1.05.G
The Tournament Director must provide two scorecards to each group, to be kept independently of one another. These scorecards may be of the same medium or of different media. The two scorecards must be reconciled by the group and submitted by whichever method the Tournament Director has designated as the official scoring method for the tournament.
