In Response To: Tournament Format and Prize Sharing By Dr. Garal (Jakob Garal)

"I talk about COMPETITION and you about ENTERTAINMENT!"

"... and you want to organize sime kind of entertainment events."

"... and you want some local events"

No. That totally mischaracterizes what I wrote. I want vibrant, cooperative organizations promoting an active and well-attended tournament calendar. I find it bizarre that you see these goals as having nothing to do with your proposals to "improve" backgammon. Frankly, the idea that ensuring that the best player(s) win at tournaments is all-important no matter how few people attend them is absurd. So at this point I shall thank you for clarifying that further discussion does indeed seem pointless.
