Care to give it another try since it's obvious you;re just getting up to speed with Galaxy?RIP me. I suggest everyone at least get a sense of how to use that system first, I also found it hard to count the blue on blue.

Do you have any color blindness?RIP me. I suggest everyone at least get a sense of how to use that system first, I also found it hard to count the blue on blue.
I usually test ok on those scales, I have alot of issues with glare and there are some shades of blue that just don't stand out well in certain lighting. There's a blue cone color blindness that seems to fit symptoms, but if I have that it's exceedingly mild, you go an wikipedia it and you'd think I'd be walking into walls by now. Certain blues do wash out against other blues.Do you have any color blindness?
There should be some sort of tie breaker for making the playoffs/playoff seeding.
Agreed. Any thoughts?
Toss the bones.My votes:
If it is a tie to determine in or out of the playoffs, then H2H if they've played, play-in game if not. If multiple teams are tied for the last spot, use H2H if someone has beaten all the others, otherwise use point differential.
If it is for seeding only, use H2H or point differential same as above. If still tied, coin toss.
You need a gentleman's agreement. Just play away at a 25 game match (max on galaxy) and keep track. When one player reaches 25 just start over. Keep an ongoing tab.I will play for cash--dont know if you can do that on galaxy
Murph defeats CletiusMaximus 5-2. The dice were very kind to me.Playing now if anyone wants to watch: https://backgammongalaxy.com/match/6625470
Let's do it. Happy to play up to $5/point.You need a gentleman's agreement. Just play away at a 25 game match (max on galaxy) and keep track. When one player reaches 25 just start over. Keep an ongoing tab.
I have a gentleman's agreement with my bookie. When you reach up or down $500 you settle. Do the same here. Reach a threshhold, say $50 and then play for an hour or two or marathon whatev. Then when one side reaches $50 you settle through Paypal and then play on if so desired.
Just play an agreed to amount, say $1 a point with the cube, gammons, backgammons and play on. I used to play the same 2-3 guys for $1 or $2 a point and there would be wild roller coaster swings. Sometimes we would play 3 player chouettes all freaking night.
If anyone is interested in playing, even for only $.50 a point let me know. It just makes the game so much more interesting when there is some skin in the game.
$5 a point? You trying to hustle me there Rockefeller? I'll play you for $1 a point with settlement @ $50. Let me know when it's convenient to play for an hour or two. I'll pm you my info.Let's do it. Happy to play up to $5/point.
Thanks Murph - good games.Murph defeats CletiusMaximus 5-2. The dice were very kind to me.
@chetset it up so everyone plays a 5 game "regular season", then the top eight move on to a single-elimination playoffs.Thanks Murph - good games.
So, is there a loser's bracket in this thing or am I done for?
You want to try replaying our match now? I'm holding a game open for you just in case.I mean if the computer after the game can tell you how stupid you are, why wouldn't someone be able to bot this like chess?
Can we try for 3pm ish CST? I'm now getting offloaded a bunch of work from people that have flooded houses.You want to try replaying our match now? I'm holding a game open for you just in case.
no, culdeus and I still need to square off, scheduled for 4pm eastern this afternoon.First round matches all done right?
I'm a haymaker guy - our matches should be bloody!sure seems like the meta when you play randoms is they just try to trap your back checkers. At least the lower rated ones.
Everyone plays so close that it throws me off. I play with mostly family and camping buddies and we are just throwing haymakers and talking ####.
Actually, the sort isn't automatically working. We'll have to tough it outA spreadsheet that can help keep all the info organized.

As long as the names are entered on the matches tab exactly as they are on the standings sheet, the standings (live) tab will automatically update and resort.
