In Response To: Tournament format+schedule -- proposal (Daniel Murphy)

Interesting report on experience. Have you read my "clock experiment" article posted yesterday on Backgammon GALORE (Tom K.'s site)?

I'm in the process of trying to extrapolate to other matchlengths (especially 9-pointers and 5-pointers) but I need to collect more data, and even then the uncertainty may be too large to tie things down. Hey, it only took me 2 1/2 years to collect the data for 7-pointers and an additional 3 1/2 years to write up the result!! Maybe by 2015 I'll be able to answer Bob's question. :)
