Hi Everyone,

Is there a plan to make a change in the "US Backgammon Tournament Rules and Procedures" to incorporate "legal moves"?

The current rule states:

4.8 ILLEGAL MOVES. A player may condone his opponent’s illegal play by rolling his dice or turning the cube. Otherwise, he must require the opponent to replay the entire roll legally.

Thanks to all who can respond to this question and provide an update.

Roger
