Subject: Re:

coan.net: OK, I just thought that a backgammon would result in 3 points, not 5... at least that's how I understand the rules:

* Single game (1 point) - the winner's opponent has borne off at least one piece.
* Gammon (2 points) - the opponent hasn't borne off any pieces.
* Backgammon (3 points) - the opponent hasn't borne off any pieces and still has some pieces either on the bar or in the winner's home area (the six pipes where the winner bears off own pieces).

Or did I miss some extra modifications or something that affects the amount of points?

Gordon Shumway: Triple gammon is different then a normal cubed game - where points go towards the tournament result (not the game result)

* 0 points for a loss
* 1 point for a normal win
* 3 points for a gammon win
* 5 points for a backgammon win
