I like the idea, though for sure it would take extra work. I like the
idea of some kind of Bang Neki tournament even more. It was discussed

The best bots are already playing well. Who would have imagined a 1d bot

Definitely not for all tournaments, but maybe something like 1 in 4
should be fun, experimental tournaments. It may even encourage those who
have weaker bots to enter into a fresh field.

to get them to play the game well? That seems hard enough to me.

**as per backgammon, either player can double, but then it is the opponent's
choice to resign or accept,
and to redouble at their discretion, though this aspect may be ott.
apologies if I missed the obvious,
it seems I omitted the most severe error, playing on, when a game is lost.
