Nice work Jacob. About your problem in Tbilisi take note: 1.4 STAFF - The Director is knowledgeable and is the disinterested chief administrator of the Tournament. He is assisted, if necessary, by Tournament Assistant(s). The Director (and the Assistants) must be recognized by the Worldwide Backgammon Federation. The Director must be a disinterested party; for this reason the Director cannot play in the Tournament. He must always be present and must have a Vice-Director on hand during any extraordinary absence.
