U.S. Backgammon Tournament Rules & Procedures
PLAY/IRREGULARITIES 4.1RANDOM ROLLS. Dice are strictly a means of obtaining random numbers; any other use vio-lates the rules and the spirit of backgammon. A legal roll consists of shaking the dice vigorously in a dice cup and then simultaneously tossing them out at a discernible height above the play-ing surface, allowing them to bounce and roll freely. Between turns the dice shall remain in the dice cup with the cup kept in plain sight.
A player shakes the dice, and, then turns his cup up side down and drops the dice with some force to the playing surface(board)
Would that roll be considered a legal roll ? Is that considered "tossing them" out of the cup, if the dice are merely dropped from a height ?
Thanks,
Seth
