In Response To: What is Happening to Backgammon? (Matt Cohn-Geier)

It hasn't happened yet, but then, we haven't had a really formal rating system yet. If there had been a formal rating system in 2005 when I was No. 2 in the ABT, I might well have retired after that year and never played in another tournament to keep that rating. In fact, I am sure I would have!
