World Cup Backgammon

I would like to see the following rules applied to backgammon tournaments, inspired by the 2010 FIFA World Cup

1) clocks are not stopped between games, during disuptes or during breaks, but when the time runs out the director will add some stoppage time

2) matches will consist of 11 games; scoring will be 0 points for a normal win, 0 points for a gammon, 1 point for a backgammon

2a) if a match is drawn after 11 games in the knockout round, winner will be determined by a dice roll

3) kibitzers may play vuvuzelas throughout the match

4) if player A rolls too vigorously and player B is struck by one or more die tumbling off the board, player B shall fall to the floor, grab his shin and writhe in agony until player A is given a yellow card

5) if an American wins a match, the match victory may be arbitrarily disallowed with no explanation required, and he shall have to win again.
