No one in the world ever got a baffle box for more of a bargain than you did, and you're looking for problems with it?
Yes, that can happen. I doubt if ANYONE has used baffle boxes more than I. We use in in our chouettes in Chicago and have for many years, and I use it consistently in tournament matches.
I have NEVER ONCE had a problem with this issue. It is not hard to notice when the dice do not go through the opening. Yes, it is possible.
If you don't use a baffle box, and you are not watching, it is quite possible that both dice will not come out of the cup at the same time (the rule is if one is still in the cup when the other hits the table the roll does not count.) This is a far more difficult call to make than whether the dice went through the baffle box.
I have NEVER claimed that baffle boxes are perfect and solve all problem, just that they virtually eliminate many problems, prevent some, and have less problems that simply rolling the dice in traditional ways.
Of course electronic dice also solve many problems, and so long as there is not a question of the fairness of the rolls, the only thing I see wrong with that is people simply like to roll the dice. Personally, as I have played many tournament matches and money games using whatever XG rolls, I have already proven that I have no problem with electronic dice and using XG (or Snowie or GNU).
Nothing will ever be perfect, but if there is a way to think of a possible problem Bob Koca will....and I do mean that as a compliment.
