"Why did the question regarding the victory scoring come out?
Besides that, we already have one system to determine a winner in a game and a match."
The thing is that the scoring system applied was invented (suggested) to make calculations during the money-games and by no means was intended to make such calculations in the tournaments. After all, a doubling cube used in the money-game is practically a coefficient by which the stake should be multiplied. There are no stakes in the backgammon tournament games. However the scoring for the win in a game is nonetheless made by the same system (using the identical scoring rules of money-game).
As long as we are looking for the fair scoring system for this game in a tournament variant, the following regulations seem to be correct taking into account:
1. the victory in a match;
2. the value of the doubling cube fixed at the moment of the end of a game;
3. the quality of the win (how close was the loser to the double loss or vice-versa to the simple win in a game);
4. possibility to compare the results of matches having different number of games (which allows to introduce a fair system calculation of a player’s rating).
Thus, how can we take into account all these proposals?
To do this, we shouldn’t introduce any new rules. We simply have to insert a new scoring system for each game and for the entire match. We call this system a "balanced tournament table to calculate results of a game and a match".
