"And now that I know that our "real dice" are ALL flawed and not random, and I know how easy it is to cheat". From where comes this fact ? Hundreads of thousands of tournaments matches have been played and how many cases of cheating we have ? I know this doesn't mean that it didn't happen but I think cheating in a tournament is very difficult, there are many eyes looking so in my opinion is more a paranoic thing. A real cheater hardly would try in a tournament, more convenient would be to do it in private games.

In my opinion these inovations can be usefull for many pourposes but still I don't see a future for dice generators in tournaments with big money involved.

A question: do you think is feasible, regarding the costs, to have these electronic scoreboards sending the data to a website ? I really think this could help a lot the backgammon, people from everywhere can have a livescore of the tournament as it happens today with the tennis matches.
