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.
Check out some recorded matches.
Check out pictures -- everything from August 2008 onward was just posted!
