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

"I want vibrant, cooperative organizations promoting an active and well-attended tournament calendar."

FOR WHAT? WHAT IS YOUR GOAL? WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO ACHIEVE?

"I find it bizarre that you see these goals as having nothing to do with your proposals to "improve" backgammon."

I NEVER HAVE ANY IDEA "TO IMPROVE BACKGAMMON". I propose only Fair Backgammon Tournament Rules and some other ideas which connected with TOURNAMENT COMPETITIONS. The CRAWFORD RULE, in contrast, had changed the BACKGAMMON GAME. I have changed only scoring system in case of competition and it is a huge difference!

"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."

I never written like this. I suppose that my proposal will find more acceptance between players after first tournament with such format will be promoted. Surely, we can ask the players before. We'll be interesting to know too.

Once more: this format has a lot of advantages foo players as well as for tournament organizers. The best way - we should test it.

If you have your own idea how we should attract newcomers and inscrease popularity of BG-Toournaments - let us know.

Thank you for your comments.
