Bill gave me permission to post this.
"Both players did violate the rules, Alan:
4.9 COMPLETION. Each game must be rolled to completion, unless ended by passing a double or redouble, or conceding a no-contact position as a single game, gammon or backgammon loss. Neither matches nor games may be canceled, replayed or settled. Players are responsible for playing to the posted match length. The first player to reach the posted match length is the winner.
Since neither player reached the posted match length, neither player won. They would have needed the director's permission to alter the match length and neither of them received the necessary permission. The director can stand by 4.9 when making her ruling. It is very clear."
