NO !!!!!

Keep backgammon as it is. Donīt take away the pleasure of shaking and rolling. Thatīs whatīs the game is about. Use lipped dice cup and precision dice and be vigilant. Use clocks to add speed to the game. But donīt make people travel with all sort of equipment, just because of a very few cheaters. The majority of the players are honest and they should not be affected by the very few.

Board, precision dice, lipped dice cups, chess clocks, baffle-boxes.... whatīs next? Your own third-party roller so no player can touch the dice?

Please donīt panic. Yes, cheating is an issue in all games. And no, itīs really not the majority. Be vigilant, inform the TD upon suspicion, have your matches be monitored and donīt play money games when you have doubts. Thatīs it.
