BIG BAD WOLF: A draw is not a possible outcome of a game of Backgammon and I believe should not be allowed under any circumstances. I feel the same way about this in Keryo Pente too.

As for resigning a game. As it is played now with each game being valued at one point, it doesn't matter. If gammons and backgammons are counted it will make a difference when playing a match and the match is where it takes more than one point to win it. The problem with playing a resignation as giving the opponent the maximum value would be to cause the games to continue on when a player knows he's going to lose, but not get gammoned. One of the sites listed James Hird, I believe Daily Gammon, has a way around this. When someone resigns, the opponent gets to decide on the game's value. If the resigner is asking for a one point loss and the winning player thinks he has a chance at a gammon, the resignation is not allowed or the resigner must accept the two point loss. This option should keep a moving along.
