In Response To: Yes re cups with baffle boxes..YES and YES again (Joe Russell)

Great summary, Joe. Here are a couple I would add:

1. You NEVER have to worry about dice flying off the table or in your face. 2. When taping a match, you will always have the dice ending up in the same area, so you can focus on that area and see all the rolls 3. You don't have to worry about individual "oddities" of rolling...I used to hate playing with a guy who had his fingers over the end of the cup and the dice hit them; another guy I play never shakes after he has rolled doubles; another guy used to roll so gently the dice hardly tumbled; another used to roll against the inner bar so the dice didn't travel very far; another used to drop them straight down and sometimes, if it wasn't from very high, the dice didn't bounce much--all of these irritations are eliminated with the baffle box.
