Neil, might I cite the following passage (emphasis added) from the Standards of Ethical Practice of the U.S. Backgammon Federation, of which you are a founder:

"Good sportsmanship and friendly competition are required to be maintained by all USBGF members and supported programs and events. Because backgammon is generally played without an official or referee, the players, themselves, are required to be fair and demonstrate good sportsmanship at all times. This includes calling attention to and correcting any irregularities (other than as specifically permitted by the rules), even if doing so is not in the player’s self-interest."
