In Response To: Senior Event (Bob Glass)

There are side-events I donīt understand. Just because backgammon in USA has the highest age average in the world, does it justify a separate event called "seniors". Are seniors to be handled differently than other backgammon players? Do they have a handicap, a disadvantage, an advantage, need they protection and special care? Backgammon-wise, I donīt think so. I see a point in having different categories for different level of play. I see a point in having a juniors side-event to encourage younger players.

But someone please explain to be the resaon for a seniors or a ladies side-event in terms of their backgammon capacities. Backgammon is not a physical game but a mind sport.
