In Response To: I Won Chiva's Tourmant in Portugal (Chiva Tafazzoli)

One player asks for a break to go and pick up something in his room, but comes back after 15 minutes and then, his opponent has left to get a drink at the bar and comes back after 20 minutes.... Player A complains. Player B complains that he has been waiting on A at least 15 minutes and it never ends while you have been losing 30 minutes during a match for one break. There are many matches being played on a tournament and you canīt follow ALL breaks and monitor them.

I agree with Chiva, I have seen this happen so often at tournaments.

In the described format, you sit down to play backgammon, so play backgammon, other than a restroom break, it's like rew says... the time for longer breaks is in between matches, not during.
