Giant 32 Criteria - Additional Thoughts

In Response To: Giant 32 Criteria (Perry Gartner)

I don´t think that´s it´s enough to consider only tournament results. IMHO, in order to be a GIANT of BACKGAMMON, one has to be a complete (and of course active) player. So, all facets should be considered, i.e. offline tournament results, money play and online performance, since all 3 are ascpects of "backgammon" today.

Since the Giants vote also is a kind of popularity contest and a "Hall of Fame", I also vouch for a list (separate or integrated within the Giants list) of people who have left substantial footsteps in the sand of backgammon (articles, books, software contribution, promotion, etc.)

Just a thought.... Inputs welcome.
