In Response To: Rules of backgammon (Bob Glass)

Bob, could you explain the "obvious cheating using baffle boxes" that you have experienced, and how using cups in conjunction with boxes solved that problem?

I've considered the cup requirement (which is actually in the DBgF rules now) and are not certain that it is necessary? Of course it requires that the bafflebox is constructed properly if cups are not to be used.

I just imagine, that the cheating with rolls through baffleboxes are limited to using crooked dice, etc., thus not being remedied by the use of lipped cups.
