In Response To: Pgh LAbor Day BG Tourn- Director's Decision (Steve Hast)

Do we want older players to be forced from competitive BG sooner than they would have been without a clock that could cost them the match?

As I said in previous thread - directors should be more focused on young players. Without them, there's no future for backgammon.

If using clocks means that for every 10 old players you lose, there'll be just 5 young players - clocks are way to go!
