One idea to reduce disuptes

I suggest the following idea be considered to reduce the likelihood of a dispute over what the dice roll is...player on roll calls out the dice roll after the dice have come to rest. If opponent disagrees, he speaks up immediately.

Pros:

1. the number of disputes over what the actual dice roll was should decrease

2. kibitzers will know what was rolled, when in many cases, depending where the dice land, they cannot see one or both dice.

3. for matches being videotaped, it could aid in the post-match transcription

Cons:

1. Could be distracting to nearby matches

2. Less chance to gain equity from opponent's illegal moves, as there are likely to be less made. (Legal move proponents may consider this a pro)
