In Response To: Professional backgammon players (David Rockwell)

It is incredible that ANYONE who is interested in Backgammon would not pay $5 to watch the World Championship finals because they think it should be free.

Currently if you charge $5 there will be 50 people watching that. And you raised $250 with that.

$250, or if you like - less than ONE registration fee in Monte Carlo. Or, if you like percents - less than 0,5% (that's 0.005) of total registration fees in Monte Carlo.

Is that enough to pay camera crew? Is that enough so tournament organizers don't have to pay much more? Will those $250 make any difference?

Yes, they will make difference! You will have 50 people watching, instead of 500+ people watching quality free broadcast.
