In Response To: Tennis, volleyball (Bob Koca)

I would call it an 8 cube - as everybody else does! But of course, unlike potentially in a longer match, or in a money session, you cannot effectively win or lose all of those 8 points. So the term '8 cube' is, technically, rather a misnomer.

Likewise, winning a gammon or backgammon in a match where not all of the additional points are of any value to one or both players. The terms were originally supposed to describe winning fully double or triple the stake but, as I pointed out originally, it is all somewhat pedantic.
