Thanks

As Co-Host of TC #5 and scorer of many tournaments, my experience on ZooEscape:
================================================================
dostoievski bronw chip - jsludge007 white chip, they were at the end of turn 14, dostoievski's turn to move. Time left 2 days, 16 hours
http://zooescape.com/backgammon.pl?v=200&gid=1947550

is gammon possible in this game?

jsludge007 should finish 6 turns or less.

dostoievski need big dices and big double just to have all his chips in is house.

jsludge007 rating is 1732 and he leading by -96 Pips. dostoievski rating 1678

So the dice roling program will avantage jsludge007 because of his rating Highest and he is leading with the Pip.
=================================================================
jsludge007 white chip - dostoievski bronw chip, 1st move of turn 18, It's dostoievski's turn to move. time left 2 days, 16 hours

According to my experience after 19,015 games on ZooEscape.

Same conclusion: So the dice roling program will avantage jsludge007 because of his rating Highest and he is leading with the Pip.

I suggest to all players to go and review many games they were in similar position and come back to tell want your conclusion. We should open a Topic about it instead to creticate the ZooEscape Rolling program, we should try to understand it.

It is a informatique program made by very goods players of bacgammon. That why with all backgammon's come with 2 shakers. we are not suppose to hold the dice in our hands, we should all the time use the shakers.

Thanks to chwaqasahmed to ask me my opinion, Bonne chance

the first game will almost for sure in a gammon, after the play from dostoiebski, he will have only 9 stones in the field. jsludges will have to get the same amout home, but the he would need at least one big doble to do so, before dostoiebski would have them all out. even one big doble will not be enough. for me it is a sure gammon and I do think everybody is getting the same dices over the time. no one is getting favoured

dostoievski vs jsludge007

jsludge007 is WINNER and will play against racoon in the next round.

They had a misunderstanding to start their games late, so host gave 2 days extra.
upon deadline, they could not finish games(but they were on the brink of finish) and both had reported few issues to host.

there games were almost complete and it was highly likely that 1 of the players can WIN it. so i took this issue to our previous hosts and a current captain of NT.

5 votes came in the favor of jsludge007 and 0 in favor of dostoievski.
1 host could not respond.
And now in the forum 1 current player(DAVID) also voted jsludge007.

This decision was made on LOGIC as it seemed unfair to exclude both players.So now both don't need any recommendations for 2nd tourney also.if they want to play in next just post here about their willingness.

I must admit I'm having trouble following/reading the request.
The first game could be a gammon, but by no way is that a certainty. If the game was to be called off now, yes I think a gammon would be awarded. The second game could go either way and the back markers (if that's the correct terminology) still have a roll to play. I think we all have played games where the unlikeliest of wins have happened.

This is my favorite http://zooescape.com/backgammon.pl?v=200&gid=327860

I'm not sure what BC was trying to say about the dice and ones rankings. Over thousands of games, which many of us have played strange imaginary patterns will occur. Random is Random.

score was 4-2

and cube was on 2 so a win with GAMMON could hv resulted in 6-4
no need of 2nd game result then


anyhow dostoievski has admitted his loss and willing to let this go(very nice of him)..although he reported a bad thing which i will discuss with jsludge..i dont think all such issues should be address in public..
we decided in past that we need less DRAMAS in our tourneys  


@NEW IDEA

i just hit by an idea that in situations like this we will ask both players to carry on and play their match with their next opponent and when their previous match is finished,loser's game with next opponent will be nullified.

I really hate to exclude any1  
all players are very good and most of them are my good friends so it put me also in a bad position
