Hi all. Does anyone know if winning by a Gammon or Backgammon impacts the ELO or ranking outcomes now that we have the Doubling Cube? It was always possible to win by G or BG before but it was always a single game event. Now we play until one player reaches three points - that could require playing be as many as five games or as few as one. In a game where both players had similar ELO the doubling cube was used in game one and then the game ended as a Gammon - so 4 points were scored and the match was over. Was it my imagination or were more ranking points awarded for the Gammon?

I don't know the details here on BGA, but normally all such rating systems entirely ignore the exact score and only care about who wins and who loses (or if it's a draw). I'm 99.9% sure it's the same here,
