In Response To: Nackgammon at tournaments (Stick)

Hypergammon is less complicated, faster and more fun. It also makes you think.

One of the most successful side events ever was a $40 entry fee, $5000 added by Hugh Sconyers hypergammon event in Vegas one year. I made the finals, (and lost) of a 198 player field.

Of course most of the interest was the added money Hugh put in. I can't remember but it may be that he invented this game? At least he has a program that solved it. Sharp man, Hugh is. He also had the highest rating ever recorded at Grid Gammon playing super back games against gnubg I think.
