Imagine for a moment that all backgammon directors – at both local and major tournaments – used the same app to award points. Let’s call them GammonPoints.
Players earn GammonPoints based on their finish, the # of players in the event (minimum of 8), and the strength of the field. For example, in a field of 8 beginners, the winner would earn, say, 1.00 GammonPoints and the runner-up 0.50 GammonPoints.
Clearly, players would love to see how they’re doing against other players in the same club – and nationally/internationally.
As a player or director what other stats or reports would you like to see?
What levels, Master, LifeMaster, etc. would you like to see and how many GammonPoints should be required?
Please leave your comments below because this app can help promote the game. And of course it will be free.

Marc Olsen interview with Phil Simborg – awesome! I look forward to learning more about Galaxy and how we can work together.
Hi David, GammonPoints are awarded to players who place in tournaments. Rating systems, such as BMAB, are complementary to this.
How about using the rating system?
