Subject: Question

Could someone please explain to me what a 'gammon' is and what a 'backgammon' is?
I've heard different things and I'm confused now. (no change there!)

If the loser has not borne off any of his checkers he is gammoned (and would lose twice the value of the doubling cube if there was one) If the loser has not borne off any of his checkers and still has a checker on the bar, or in the winners home board, he is backgammoned (and would lose 3 times the value of the doubling cube)

Thanks, Niki!! I think I'm just about to be the victim of a backgammon!
