In Response To: Thanks for adding the .mat file (higonefive)

This may be in the "...old days of the format of jellyfish...". However, I strongly agree with storm that any log file should be available in the *.mat format. In fact the *.mat format should be the standard backgammon format. Any other format could not be an improvement. All existing backgammon software can interpret the *.mat format.

XG explains in detail why it refuses to provide Snowie scores. XG makes a compelling argument that their system is superior to the flawed Snowie method (flawed per XG's opinion). However, the same cannot be said about the *.mat Jellyfish game log. By the nature of game logs, you cannot develop a better system.
