if there is a time control & no one times ; then it follows what is the point of the time control! you time out be man you lose its that simple!

I thought backgammon is supposed to be "the cruelest "game not the most "sissified" game! strategies change in the NBS, NFL & NHL & Chess, to name a few, when time is short! I mean you can lose to 66 3s & that s part of the game but loosing cause you flag is heresy! To that i say " check sub title to a very popular song by Pink!?
