Argomento: timeout always 3 points ?
Is a timeout always counted as a backgammon ?

I lost the following game due to a timeout over the weekend :

Racegammon (Hrqls - Varazslo)

I had nothing on the bar or in my opponents home, but still my opponent got 3 points?
(resigning the game at that point would have given him 2 points i think?)

Hrqls: You're right, your opponent should have been given 2 points, not 3.

Hrqls: If you had resigned then you are correct your opponent would have gotten two points.

Timing out should also be two points here, but it has been a long time since someone timed out on me. Perhaps it always times out as a backgammon, even when it is not?

That would be a strange programming decision, but perhaps Fencer didn't have his thinking cap on that day, and it never got corrected?

edit* spelling

another example:

Racegammon (Hrqls - Universal Eyes)

in this case it clearly is a backgammon timeout :)

i rarely timeout, so i dont know what a timeout does do for the match score in other game types

(i am trying to find the limits for my time control to cover my 3day-busy-reallife-weekens, and 3days to start seems ok, 10 days max seems ok, but 3 hours bonus per move seems too little compared with different timezones :))
