You are disrespecting the Bosnian players and misleading the readers of BGO.

The Bosnians are a diverse group. Many of them play both traditional tavla and modern backgammon tournaments with the cube and dice cups. Their tournaments draw up to 150 players.

They also have international experience. Last year, they held the Sarajevo Open, supported by the European Backgammon Federation, and they played by international tournament rules. Arda Findikoglu from Turkey won 4th place. Others who cashed were from Croatia, Hungary and Bosnia. Matches were streamed. The Sarajevo Open is planned again for May 2016, affiliated with the EUBGF.

Back in 2014, the Bosnians fielded a team at the European Team Championship in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The Danes won the Gold that year. The Croatian team won the Gold in 2015 when the event was held in Hungary.

In 2013 when Mochy played in the Dubrovnik Open, several Bosnians played there as well. When Akiko played in the 2015 Sibenik Open in Croatia, there were many Bosnians in the field.

When you bash the Bosnians, it makes you look ignorant, especially to the Europeans and Japanese players who have competed with them in tournaments.
