What's a Chouette ?
One Player is "In The Box"
and plays against all comers.
If s/he wins s/he stays "In The Box."
Lose and the "Captain" takes over the box.
All Players have their own Doubling Cube.
If you've not played for money before...
but it won't cost you anything.
Every Player will be given
Bank of Backpacker Backgammon Bucks.
You play for a buck a point.
Lose all your bucks and you're out.
Money Play Rules will apply:
Automatic Doubles
(If both
players roll the same number on the first roll of a game, the
stakes are to be doubled. This will apply on only the first
roll. If the same numbers are rolled on the second roll they
will not be carried over to the next game.)
Jacoby Rule
(Gammons
and Backgammons
only count post cube action.)
Beavers
(When
a player is doubled,
he may
immediately redouble (beaver)
while retaining possession of the doubling cube.
The original doubler has the option of
accepting or refusing as with a normal double.)
Raccoons
(An
immediate redouble by the player who just accepted a beaver.)
Backgammon-on-the-bar scores 5 point
(even
is there has been no cube action).
Cubing
If the Box cubes he
/ she must cube all players on the first cube only. Likewise
if the Box is cubed he / she must accept or decline all cubes
on the first cube only.
The Chouette Corner will be in the YHA Bar where
smoking and drinking is the norm.
It will be open
from Friday 10.00 p.m. to Sun 6.00 p.m.
(But will be closed during the
Knockout and Swiss Tournaments)
The Reality of this event is that Players tend to play head
to heads as they try to gather in as many bucks as they can
in the limited time available. Not quite the original
design, but Players enjoy it as it gets more and more
frantic and that's fine by me.
The Players with the most Bank of Backpacker Backgammon
Bucks will win the trophy.
In view of reality of the event the trophy
will this year be titled
The Chouette Hustlers Trophy.
