Rated Match Policy
On 15th March 2017, the UKBGF adopted its official results policy , which is designed to establish a standard for the quality of results posted to this site.
The UKBGF policy is supplemented by local policies, which give club managers the freedom to define local rules that work for the way their events are run.
The manager for Birmingham data on this site is Mike Wood.
The local policy for Birmingham is as follows:
All matches from the Birmingham Backgammon League and Knockout competitions will be added to the relevant ratings system. The Birmingham Backgammon Club runs the Midlands Open in September. All matches apart from 1-pointers from this tournament are recorded onto the UKBGF ratings system. Results from other ad-hoc club competitions may also be rated if communicated in advance with those playing.
No matches, other than those described above, find their way onto the ratings system.
