In Response To: Tournament Format and Prize Sharing By Dr. Garal (Phil Simborg)

I did not [say] his insights were "insightful."

I did not know there were such things as uninsightful insights. The good doctor, as you call him, misdiagnoses backgammon's ills and proposes an ineffectual treatment. I acknowledge that Jaral's desire to make tournaments more enjoyable and attractive is sincere, but I can't pretend that his examination is insightful or that his prescription is interesting. I took the time to claw through his article, there was nothing new there, and nothing helpful.
