In Response To: Giants (ed olaughlin)

Active yes. Money play? That should be reasonable to use shouldnt it? I know for a fact that there is at least one top player that does far better in chouette's and heads up money play than in ABT tournament main events.

I think there should be defined criteria for "Active". That I would like to see. Perhaps having a higher standard by which someone can be voted for would encourage more participation by those that are supposedly the "Giants of Backgammon".
