Who's first in Backgammon Arena?

Post by Roitelet »

Hi there,

I am puzzled.

Depending on the time of the day, BGA says yiannos49 or Roitelet (myself) is the leader. But it is changes all the time, without either player playing.

That's partly because both players are rated the same 1753.

BGA does not consistently say that one player is the leader. That's really weird. Is that because a database query does not always return the same result? I can't see any other reason.

In any case, that can be considered a bug I suppose.

It's a deuce, sharing first place. It's good BGA shares the first rank between the two players

Don't worry. The algo won't allow a tie for first place at the deadline.

That only is going to worry me Veggivet. :)

This said, it is unlikely that it will stay like this forever.

There's a pretty simple solution:
Play a round of backgammon. :D
