Excellent point, Scotty. Special exhibition matches with interesting games and interesting personalities and fun commentary will only help grow the popularity and interest in the game.

Videos and programs that help beginners understand the game better and what is going on is also key. That is one reason I post, on YouTube, for the general public, all kinds of fun and interesting basic teaching videos for beginners and intermediates. And that is why I post PaskoGammon exhibitions and games with Mochy, Akiko and other interesting and top players.

We need more of that and WE NEED SPONSORS.

Remember the Simborg/Mochy Challenge. We had a sponsor put up the money and featured beautiful Geoffrey Parker Boards and had great, fun commentary from Falafel.

How do we attract more sponsors? Its the chicken and the egg...get more viewers by making the game more fun and interesting to watch, and it will make sense for more people to sponsor tournaments and special events.
