   It sounds like the table was unrated. unrated tables start automaticly! look at the tables listed in lounge,make sure it says rated before you join.

   Points are more reasonable when you play backgammon in person, not online.
   When you play a backgammon match to 15 points, you score:
   1 point for a game, 2 points for a gammon, and 3 points for a backgammon.
   Use the doubling cube! when you want to double those stakes.

   It is never correct to resign in backgammon due to the match score, but might be correct to resign due to a totally lost board position.

   i do not use foxfire but here is what you need to do.1st set your popup blocker to always allow;games.yahoo.com
   next you need to do this;
   If you can’t get lounge page to open do this! Click on My PC ,disk drive C, open windows folder,next open Downloaded programs file. click game you want to play to high lite it.delete it.Now go back to game,it will prompt you to download a demo,do so and page will open! Your old download is stale since yahoo's new up grades.

   This page not only has easy to understand rules of how to play Backgammon, but also shows step by step pictures of the gameboard and how to move your pieces on it.
   I hope it is helpful to you.

   There are a few on this page (hidden between some others you pay for), but I don't know how good they play.
