The backgammon challenge
It's not Everest.
It's not a triathlon.
It's not even getting your wife to let you watch football in peace.
No, this challenge is actually doable.
FAQ
Q: What do I do? What is the objective?
A: Play a 7-point match against VillagesBackgammon (whoever the hell that is) on the internet site Backgammon Galaxy, win the match, and have a lower error rate than VB (Villages Backgammon).
Q: What's an error rate?
A: Backgammon Galaxy has a computer that thinks it's smarter than all backgammon-playing humans. It decides what the right move is and sees how many times you screw up (in its opinion). From this information, it calculates an "error rate" for each player.
Q: What if I don't have a Backgammon Galaxy account?
A: No problem. Just click here and follow the sign-up instructions. Simple. Even George, our Club President, figured it out.
Q: What do I get if I win the match and have a lower error rate?
A: Your Club dues for 2023 will be waived in their entirety - whether that's $10, $5,000 or zero. No worries on your part. You will also get a certificate which no one but you will be interested in seeing. Club dues will be waived for the first 20 players who conquer the challenge.
