In Response To: Not even close to a professional athletic event (rory)

Rory.... genius..... just go ahead and change your argument when some points out that it's wrong....

but... here goes... there is a BIG difference between chess and backgammon... in chess tournaments players are encouraged to notate all plays. In backgammon.... ABT rules prohibit it "1.5 AIDS. Once a match is in progress, players shall not use written, mechanical or electronic aids except to keep score."
