Papa Zoom: Thank you Papa for sharing your winning with me. Two nice surprises in two days. Do you think I might get lucky and win the lottery tonight?
furbster: I always wonder why many people make Backgammon tournaments with no doubling cube. Backgammon has a certain percentage of luck in it, which gets reduced significantly by playing for a higher game count, and the doubling cube is a critical part of the game logic. Personally, I avoid tournaments where there is only a match to one point, because the game is too much chance under those circumstances. Don't get me wrong - I am not criticizing you, furbster, and it's of course your right to make any tournament you like. I just see many of those, and I don't join them for that reason, and it makes me wonder why even strong players create them this way. Do you care to explain?
furbster: I just enjoy all types of backgammon! 1pointers or 5 point matches i liek them all, more people tend to sign up to 1 point tournaments though and i prefer more competition. I will set up a 5 point cubed brain tourney too and see if many people want to join that one.
happyjuggler0: yes i understand that, the only reason i make them short/ish is that it tends to attract more competition, 5 points or more seems to dramatically reduce the entrants.

earldrake1: Thank you for your warning about on the tournament. It was my fault in creation of the tournaments together. In recent months, under 4 users interested to anti backgammon and tournament could not created!
Here in this site to modify the name of the tournament is not possible simply... Sorry for it again!
