In Response To: Headphones (Joe Russell)

Regarding the social concerns points:

1) If someone is more interested in that why not just find others to chat with instead of playing backgammon?

2) Suppose that such a ban is indeed made because of social concerns. If a player would rather concentrate on playing instead of talking is the player in danger of being banned from tournaments because thery are ruining someone’s tournament experience?
