Bob:

“So as a TD you would have no problem with two players agreeing to never use the cube and to always settle a noncontact position that will likely be a gammon as a single win?

Rule

“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 the rule does not determine how to decide what type of concension is appropriate in a “no-contact” position, presumably the players get to decide among themselves. Bob confused you by using the word "settle" instead of the word "concede."
