In Response To: Why not variable side pools? (Art Grater)

Art - Backgammon in London have used fully variable pools in the past and there have been no issues. The only downsides are that it is a little fiddly for the TD and some players find it a bit hard to understand. But these disadvantages are far outweighed by the flexibility and choice afforded to players imho.

There is a discussion thread on this issue on the BGIL Discussion Board from September 2008:
