Subject: Re:

pgt: How about manually calculating the winners of each round and start an invitational tournament with just those players, that is if those 2 players don't figure in to it. Then ask fencer to delete the current tournament when the round finally finishes

Czuch: If cardinal wins both of his remaining games, you, cardinal and furbuster would move on, If cardinal looses one game, furbuster moves on alone

Subject: Re: Doubling cube.

Nothingness: the short answer is no. they can however force you to choose between resigning or doubling the value of that game, it's your choice but you do have to choose.
At the bottom of the page of this link http://brainking.com/en/GameRules?tp=23 is a more detailed explination

Duh! I feel stupid, I was looking at my dice, she did indeed roll a 5-2

27. June 2009, 15:47:56

Subject: Re: Only one move?

grenv: I've thought of that so I did a hard refresh a couple of different times and am still showing 5-1

27. June 2009, 14:42:17

Subject: Re: Only one move?

Bwild: I don't think that is it because she could have moved from 5 to 6 with her second move

27. June 2009, 04:53:08

Subject: Only one move?

Maybe I am getting old and senile but it looks like white only had to move one checker on her last move
Anti Backgammon (TheAlchemist vs. Vikings) when it was possible to move both

27. April 2009, 02:36:57

Subject: Re: Why no extra points?

Anjil: no bug, your opponent got all of his pieces out of your home so you did not score a backgammon, but he did not get any pieces off so the score is a gammon which is worth 2 points

31. January 2009, 19:45:48

is anyone needing another player for the up coming hyper team tournament?

20. December 2008, 14:36:38

I count that you have bore off 11 and have 4 left to bear off

Subject: Re: Ratings

tonyh: a match is a match, no matter how many games or points it takes to win it, so the answer is none

9. October 2007, 03:04:02

Subject: Re: Back to Backgammon Discussion

coan.net: o.k. then, back to my question, has anyone ever had a complete game without any doubles?

4. October 2007, 02:30:58

anyone ever played an entire game without so much as one set of doubles rolled?

21. September 2007, 04:04:35

Subject: Re:

Family Man: because if he can move, the dice won't roll until he rolls them

15. September 2007, 01:18:15

Subject: Re: ratings

tippyc: nope, a match is a match

Subject: Re: Cheat?

Andersp: well then it's obvious,.... you accepted!

23. August 2007, 00:50:00

Subject: Re: Cheat?

Andersp: maybe he felt cheated because of the way that stairs games can start without accepting the challenge before the timer starts since he timed out on the first one. just a thought

2. February 2007, 04:56:34

Subject: Re:

Czuch Czuckers: simple, I'm gonna come back and whoop your tanned side just like last time we played

7. January 2007, 15:41:41

Subject: Re:

jryden: actually once you join stairs, the games keep popping up,never ending, I can never knock down my game total thus leaving less time to join new tourneys

7. January 2007, 06:54:19

Subject: Re:

jryden: there used to be a lot more of these tourneys, I've noticed a decline in them since the introduction of stairs

Subject: Re: Crowded and Race checkers on the bar

nabla: I strongly agree with #2, it makes it hard strategy-wise as it is now, this has been brought up before but never aknowlegded

15. July 2006, 01:50:17

Subject: Re: Leaving on top?

alanback: you can't leave, you aren't on top of all of your stairs

Hrqls: don't ask me, I don't have any brains

9. July 2006, 19:18:29

Subject: Re:

Hrqls: I think that she is talking about tournements that some people sign up for that never get enough people to start and eventually time out on the tournement page

Subject: Re: Anti Back + Doubling Cube?

grenv: no more silly than any other anti-game, just responding

27. April 2006, 22:17:31

Subject: Re: Anti Back + Doubling Cube?

joshi tm: not all games go that way, but I would guess that I win or loose 98% of games with a backgammon, and I have completed all 5 point matches in 1 or 2 games

27. April 2006, 12:57:44

Subject: Re: Anti Back + Doubling Cube?

joshi tm: since you are trying to lose, it's easy to keep a couple of men back and get backgammoned, so most likely a game that has been doubled will be worth 6 points

27. April 2006, 12:55:12

Subject: Re: Anti Back + Doubling Cube?

SafariGal: thats why I double extremely early on

11. March 2006, 05:33:28

Subject: Re: Anti-backgammon

Marfitalu: it is a bug, it will only give you the 6 points if the opponent resigns

18. February 2006, 02:57:21

Subject: Re: Another cheat?

Pedro Martínez: I'd agree, those nic's are obvious and the play sure isn't steller,

5. December 2005, 13:04:40

Subject: Re: anti-backgammon

Hrqls: don't know, looks similar enough to my game

4. December 2005, 23:43:13

Subject: Re: anti-backgammon

Pedro Martínez: as I said earlier, I may have had all the checkers out of the 1st quadrant at one time or another and had them set back, I have had that happen in hyper-backgammon and only received 2 points also

4. December 2005, 23:23:40

Subject: Re: anti-backgammon

Pedro Martínez: my bad, it looks like they were all resignations, but here is a link to where I received 4 points but may have been eligible to receive 6 http://brainking.com/en/ArchivedGame?g=1177229

4. December 2005, 23:16:53

I'll look

4. December 2005, 22:58:51

Subject: Re: anti-backgammon

Pedro Martínez: actually I have gotten many gammons with a double and received 4 points, I have also gotten backgammons with a double but also received 4 points, I just assumed that I had gotten the checkers out and had them sent back

Subject: Re: The Crawford game

playBunny: yes, that is what I meant, I was just using his example

27. October 2005, 22:18:02

Subject: Re: Cube dicussion

skipinnz: when the score is 4:0 in a 5 point match, no one can double, its called a crawford round

26. October 2005, 05:33:37

Subject: Re: Superstitions

alanback: ahh, then it just depends on how much cork is used

26. October 2005, 05:16:52

Subject: Re: Superstitions

alanback: metal bats do only have a certain number of hits in them, high dollar bats cost about $1.00 per hit

26. October 2005, 03:26:22

Subject: Re: Auto-what?

playBunny: made sense to me

26. October 2005, 02:54:27

Subject: Re: Auto-what?

playBunny: what part don't you understand? the part about using a random roll generator or using your left hand on your mouse?

26. October 2005, 02:37:51

Subject: Re: Im confused too :)

ajtgirl: since most people use their right hand on their mouse, try using your left hand the next time you are in that situation then you will have your odds back

26. October 2005, 02:31:53

26. October 2005, 02:26:12

Subject: Re: Im confused too :)

ajtgirl: its what you are wanting, when someone can't move, you can go ahaid and go again
