Thank you for your negative feedback. As for your statement- "very serious backgammon by some talented players who are happy to take your $10 entry fee away from you". I'm almost positive that is a gross misrepresentation. You voluntarily entered a tournament and apparently lost. That's not "taking" your money. It's more like giving your money away. Not sure when you came to the club and formed your impression, but in the 2 years since I've been attending, I don't think I've had the pleasure to meet you. I'm the new president of the club. The way I see it, all of our members are friendly, especially the better players of the club who are always eager to help improve the game of less experienced players by not playing for money. We have a mix of players, some of who wish to play just for the fun of it and other players who enjoy a friendly wager, with both positions respected and encouraged equally. I am rated as an expert player, bordering on master level player. I'd like to personally invite you to give the club another try and see the changes that have been made. If you're interested, I'd also be willing to help improve your game if you're not already a better player than I am.
