+---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | First British-American Backgammon Cup, London, 1973 | | Table 2, Phillip Martyn (GBR) vs. Walter Coooke (USA) | | | | GNUBG-Analysis, 2-ply (Snowie error rate): | | Martyn : -14.6 | | Cooke : -12.5 | | | | Remarks: | | 1. Tournament initiated by Kenneth Wagg: One USA team | | (Barclay Cooke & Walter Cooke) against a British team | | (Phillip Martyn & Joe Dwek). | | 2. Format: A total of 40 games so called "duplicate backgammon" | | where the players get the same dice. So if the match starts | | with a 16 for the USA team, on the other table it starts with | | 16 for the British team. After 20 games the pairings changed. | | Of those 40 games only 8 got published. The overall accumulated | | points decided, which team had won. So actually it was a kind | | of money game. I do not know, whether the Jacoby rule was in | | in force. | | 3. Final result: 73 points USA team / 64 points British team | | 4.
