Apropos a recent thread about chouette policy, I thought people might enjoy a new page I recently added to the NEBC website, "All About Chouettes." Despite the title, it's not meant to be absolutely comprehensive, but does cover all the major policy variations and considerations contributing to a coherent chouette rules set.

At the bottom of the page are links to our local Boston chouette rules as well as a few other rules sets I've found online. If anyone knows of further online chouette resources that would add to what I've collected, fee free to drop me a line at info@nebackgammon.org

Later this month NEBC is experimenting with a second monthly event, "Chouette Day" which will provide a different backgammon experience from our usual day-long tournaments, which seem to be too great a time commitment for many players.
