In Response To: Bracket dreaming (phil simborg)

Phil S: "2. … an international backgammon federation and one of it's many functions is to centralize information so we can all access it easily. There should be one web site to go to, any time, and get the most recent updates on any "sanctioned" event in the world. … what tournaments meet minimum standards of payouts, rules, and reporting, ... international ranking and rating of players."

Is there a brainstorming thread on the potential structure/financing/functions of an international body?

This years Nordic was presented well if u knew where to look - the constant table stream on youtube combined with the draw sheet access made it possible to maintain interest and generate some excitement across the weekend.

I compare this to the NY which wad great pre tourney hype. The World v USA matchup, the venue, the field, all was super exciting and then once it kicked off, there was nothing.

So hard to reinvent the wheel every time at every place.
