In Response To: Rules question to try to answer what to do OTB (neilkaz)

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.
