Modest turnout for today’s tournament – 5 people in total. However, that meant that we were able to finish in time to rush home to listen to the Presidential debate. In retrospect, I might have enjoyed a little more backgammon instead…
People seemed to like having the two side pools – generally people ponied up for both. Since I ended up winning, I especially appreciate it. Two people – Max & Tim – were not previously ranked and so enter this time with Elo ratings of 1500. Results were as follows:
| Player | Initial Elo Rating | Matches Played | Matches Won | Final Elo Rating |
| Mark | 1541.3 | 3 | 3 | 1578.17 |
| Max | 1500 | 4 | 2 | 1503.05 |
| Tim | 1500.0 | 4 | 2 | 1498.59 |
| Paul | 1501.0 | 3 | 1 | 1488.08 |
| Ken | 1471.7 | 2 | 0 | 1446.17 |
Next tournament is scheduled for November 13th. See you then!
