Upcoming schedule: There are no dark days in the foreseeable future. The 2010 Maxakuli Cup will be on Wednesday, December 22 -- an Invitational tournament for the top 8 in the standings at the end of the year. We are definitely meeting on Tuesday, April 13th, the day before the start of the Nevada State Backgammon Championships at the Riviera in Las Vegas.
NEW for 2009!!! Updated United States Backgammon Rules. For the second straight year, the rules on premature rolling have changed. The LVBC will now be using the new rules. The new rule reads as follows. Rule 4.6 (PREMATURE ACTIONS): The opponent of a player who rolls prematurely shall complete his turn and then either let the premature roll stand or require a reroll. The opponent of a player who doubled prematurely shall complete his turn and then pass or take. Prior to 2008, premature rolls were invalid and had to be rerolled in all circumstances. In 2008, premature rolls were always valid. Henceforth, premature rolls are either valid or invalid at the choice of the opponent.
On February 2nd, we had 30 players in attendance.
On January 19th, we had 19 players in attendance. Paul Franks has won 10 consecutive matches.
