Or is your argument that most players are less skilled than an abandoned team?

Also, apart from 6 defeats, every one of those defeats felt like I was cheated.
We've gone over it before earlier on in this thread.
I've played thousands and thousands of games of backgammon and i've played T11 for 6 years, and the similarities in the way the results pan out is striking.
Both are games of skill with chance involved so there will always be losses no matter how well prepared you are.
There is nothing you can do if an opponent throws 4 pairs of 6's in a row say, that's the equivalent of a troll result, but it's how the game works
If I played the world number one at backgammon over a hundred games I'd be pretty confident of winning around 40 of them, solely on the 'random' factor of the dice. This game throws that up all the time.
If I played the chess number one a hundred times I'd be pretty confident of losing 100 times because there is no 'random' factor, it's all skill
I think people expect Top Eleven to be chess but it's actually backgammon.
