In Response To: Well done event in NY - Formerly homeless man makes it home. (Rich Munitz)

and on request of either player in both the Championship

I don't believe that's right. It was at the request of either player for the Masters but both had to agree for the Open. I forget how it was billed and am too lazy to look for my own link but that's how it was run.

The good news about the Calcutta auction time was that we made the first official announcement about the creation of the US Backgammon Federation. Harvey Gillis presented briefly on behalf of the Board of Directors and discussed the Mission, the committees and what we are trying to do. The feedback and support and offers to help from many of the people in attendance was great.

I didn't attend the calcutta (need of sleep >> desire to attend) and I didn't know Harvey was presenting anything on behalf of the USBGF. I blame somebody.

It was well run and a success from what I could tell but I wasn't around as much as others since when you go lose/lose/lose/lose/lose with ample time in there to rebuy to make sure you lose some more you don't need (or want) to be in the bg room anymore.

The streaming video will be improved in the future. Hopefully a tighter focus so the dice are easily read and of course announced more ahead of time that the events will be broadcast.
