In Response To: My First Ever Heads-Up Money Session With A CLOCK! (Paul Weaver)

Paul, I would love your opinion, as I ALWAYS value your opinion highly as do most in the backgammon world:

1. playing with a clock, do you think the use of the baffle box cost you time because of the time it takes to roll the dice, or saved you time because of the lower incident of cocked dice?

2. did you find it complicated or difficult to use a baffle box while using a clock?

3. Have you tried the rolling tube? If so, do you prefer that to a baffle box?

4. When playing with a baffle box, do you feel it is necessary to use cups as well?

5. When playing with a baffle box, do you think it matters much if you use the smaller or larger dice?

(It goes without saying that I am a major champion of the box for many reasons I've already given, and we use it every day in our Chicago chouettes and people who used to object to it now complain if I don't bring it.)
