Great turnout for this one – 9 people in total. Four brand new people attended: Ken, Will, Gints, and Samantha. I don’t think we’ve seen the last of any of them – I hope not anyway.
I started a spreadsheet to track people’s Elo score based on Portland Backgammon tournaments. Everyone coming in starts at 1500, and your score goes up or down based on whether you win. Well, I started Rob and myself off 1500 because I knew results from one prior meetup for sure, when he beat me. Anyway: here’s the table of Elo scores based on the Sept. 4 tournament. I will update it with results from all future tournaments.
