In Response To: Professional backgammon players (jdg)

Find a way to broadcast games that will interest a novice and things will change

I would like to see that too.

About 360+ people have watched stream of Monte Carlo final (poor cam resolution, cannot see the dice, board that makes eyes hurt, etc).
If it was better recorded and advertised more, I think it would attract a lot more viewers (potential future Monte Carlo players).

Yes, I know better streaming would cost organizers. But maybe 240 euros from each player (that's about 50.000 euros total this year) could be spent on recording and/or internet streaming, and not on "Gala dinner & show with superstar".
