In Response To: What Backgammon Needs to Thrive (Stick)

I agree completely just with the addition: for swiss format clocks are a *must*.

The colognegammon tourneys started with swiss format, but there was a lot of waiting involved so after two tourneys the usual format (main + cons) was chosen. I personally regretted this a lot, but the practical issues forced that. With clocks this would be a different story.
