In Response To: The meaninglessness of backgammon results (Bob Koca)

I agree - changing tournaments format to Swiss, slightly increasing length of the matches and decreasing the control times are all great ways to make backgammon closer to a real sport. Recent tournaments in Chicago and Pittsburgh (especially in Chicago) gave me more of a chess competition feeling.
