The sample game illustrates this concept. When your match is over, both players should report the results to a tournament director so that the players' names can be recorded on the drawsheet. The Main Flight continues with the winning player from each of the pairings. Pairings are made from the other names on the Consolation drawsheet, and players progress to determine the ultimate winner of the Consolation Flight. Be sure to look over the tournament's rules .
All tournaments have their rules publicly posted.
Even in the middle of a match, if you want to understand even something little, just ask. No question is too silly, and it's better to ask while it is still fresh in your mind. And if you're looking to improve your backgammon skills, there's no better way to learn than at a tournament. Since all the best players got there by asking questions of better players when they were learning, they're pretty generous with learning players now. That's the reason we're all here.
