In Response To: Clock Rule 4.1 (Jason Lee)

Dr. Jason Lee wrote, "Any problems with this? How should I go about doing this to minimize hard feelings? Give a warning the first time, and then enforce it thereafter?"

My advice to Jason is that you should be less concerned about the feelings of your opponents and more concerned about your own. Packing a couple of weapons and making them visible is one way to make people worried about not offending you, and also making it less necessary to be concerned about offending them.

We can discuss this concept in person in more detail when I see you Tuesday, April 13 at the Las Vegas Backgammon Club.
