In Response To: ABT Tourney Schedule (Bill Riles)

Yes, it's messy. That's what a free market looks like.

The reality is that US backgammon does not have a strong national organization running it a la USCF or ACBL. It's really just a bunch of individual directors doing their own things, with a layer of ABT frosting on top.

There is some discussion and gentle persuasion among the directors, particularly if somebody seems like they're about to make a big mistake. In general, though, each director is too busy planning and running his/her own event to spend a lot of time telling the others how they should be running theirs.
