Tim, I would respectfully urge you to check the chess stats to see just how many chess GMs there are now. Then look at how many bg players are averaging under 3.5. You can virtually count the latter on one hand, so to speak.

I knew those stats even before I made my previous post. The statistic that I didn't know was the number of backgammon players who play in tournaments. Do you happen to have a good estimate of that figure? I was guesstimating that if you computed the percentages, it would come out in the same ballpark. This is not even trying to take into account that there's probably a lot more sociological incentive to get a chess GM title than to get a public 3.5 PR.
