In Response To: What Backgammon Needs to Thrive (Daniel Murphy)

Gee, I wonder which country you were referring to. :)

In the US, what is the number of face-to-face tournament players (and here I include those who only play at a club, not necessarily weekend tournament attendees)? Let's say "played at least once during 2007 at either a local club (with matchplay) or a weekend event (single or multi-day)". I think we'd be lucky to count 1000. That would be fifty clubs (about the number on the ChiPoint list) with average membership of 20.

So multiplying that by 30. Would be nice!
