Do you miss something on BrainKing.com and would you like to see it here? Post your request into this board! If there is a more specific board for the request, (i.e. game rule changes etc) then it should be posted and discussed on that specific board.
Dream, thats what I meant, even though in a normal game its not possible to have a draw, there may be certain circumstances where both players may want to agree to a draw. If one player disagrees then the other player would have to either time out or finish the game.
Its a bit like playing a game at home, then visitors arrive.. so the board is put away and a draw agreed upon!!
Its not like one player announces a draw and thats the end of the game, you get the choice of accepting or rejecting the draw. :o)
I know the perfect solution. IYT has an option in a regular game for a player to request a longer timeout period, ie from 3 days to 30 this gives you the opportunity to finish those delayed matches, without having to ask for a draw.
However I think a tournament should never have the opportunity of a draw in backgammon as it is not in the rules, thus the option should not be there :-)
