John, in the past for several decades we had sixth playable days (Monday-Saturday) in Master Divsion. One time in 2004 by mistake (incorrect announcement) we played 5 days and since then this mistake was never corrected.

Alex,

I don't like 2 games per round either.

I think it should be one game per round and give me the strong side every time plus an extra checker.

Hi, Bill ! Not a bad idea :lol: One time I thought - how we can bring gambling element to our game which may attract kibitzors ... like in poker. I comeup with solution: we should play 174 deck - all possible 3 movers, including 18 losing debutes and ... play only one game where color selected randomly !
