Has any thought been given to beginning tournaments with a warning about proper procedures? possibly a handout given to all entrants explaining such? it seems a great preventive measure at a small cost.
Good idea in theory... At backgammon tournaments, handouts don't get read and announcements don't get listened to. The precedents have been set long ago -- show up about the right time to begin your match; you already know everything you need to know.
Bad habits are hard to break in general, and backgammon player seem to be particularly mulish when it comes to changing long ago ingrained attitudes. Fast grab, fast shake, etc. are perfect examples.
