1. At the beginning of the game one person tosses a die into the box.

OK. But Jason's suggestion for the first roll -- now that I understand it -- is that they don't use the baffle box for the first roll of each game. That seems fine, too. Better, even.

We then moved the die to the side

I wouldn't want any hands touching dice.

so the next die coming out of the box does not hit the first die and change the number.

I wouldn't care.

If both players agreed to use a baffle box, the only legal rolls are one where the person uses the baffle box.

Agreed.

It is simpler to not use a cup, just pick up the dice and toss them in the baffle box.

Slightly simpler. It's only omitting putting the dice in the cup before tossing them in the baffle box. I think the better rule is: use cups.

Have you read the WBF/Nordic rules?

If a baffle box is in use, it must be placed opposite the home boards of the players.

In matches played using baffle box. A valid throw consists of the dice being shaken in a cup, and then rolled out of the cup and into the baffle box not touching the player’s hand. After the throw, both dice must be lying flat on the board to the right of the bar, otherwise the throw must be retaken.
