In Response To: clock "ETHICS" (Coolrey)

"Rich: To me, the idea that I could deliberately try to increase my chances of winning a match on time by employing technique 2 or 3 rather than by playing good backgammon is revolting. I'll let others wrestle with the moral dilema on their own. But I'd rather see guidelines that explicitly say "its wrong" and then if people choose to do it anyway, shame on them, then leave people without guidance and have them rationalize bad sportsmanship"

So then instead of having such things be under an "ethics" section and then shame on them, why not put it more explicitly in the actual rules?
