IBC Safeguards

In Response To: Proctors? (Bill Riles)

The IBC has promulgated the most stringent safeguards for the prevention of cheating in the history of online backgammon match play. Perhaps you and the community at large are not aware of all of these safeguards.

Several organizations were not invited to participate in the IBC because of their director's reputation in regard to ethical conduct or enforcement of ethical standards.

Each Federation is required to designate a proctor to physically be present for each match held with any of their players. The name of this proctor, in each instance, is forwarded to the IBC Director and Organizing Committee for final vetting. Each opponent has the right to select one member of the public to be present in the location where his opponent is going to play.

Players are encouraged to play in public facilities such as clubs rather than in homes. As in other online tournaments,matches are recorded and subject to review for evidence of cheating.

The applicable rules are spelled out on the IBC site.

No on can deny cheating is alway a possibility, but these safeguards make it unlikely that cheating will be part of our landscape.
