In Response To: USBGF rule for dice-on-checkers - opinion of Ken Larsen (Barry Silliman)

I'm all for re-assessing laws that were either arbitrary or the reason for them no longer defendable.

It would take a little time for established drivers to re-train their muscle memory to account for the extra speed, but new drivers won't know any different.

In both cases, you get to your destination faster, so I'm all for it. :)
