New Rule - Dice Flat on Checkers

To be clear I do not think there will be an equal call for rulings under the old and the new rule. Under the new rule I think there will clearly be more.
As for the history of tournament or serious backgammon, a quick check on Tom Keith's page seems to make it clear that the dice have always needed to come to rest on the right side of the board. I don't care what the rules were in Mesopotamia. Even growing up with a backgammon under our couch we knew better than to let a die on a checker be a legal roll.
