Preface to the Second Edition
In this edition, exactly the same calculations have been done as in the previous one, but with one
additional year of match history. Not only did the number of registered players in Bigelo rise from 172
on December 31, 2013, to 200 on December 31, 2014, a large number of records have been broken,
including the biggest upset, the longest winning streak, and the record rating itself (Chapter 2).
I would like to thank the readers of the previous edition for their comments and suggestions.
• One reader suggested was to present rating lists split up according to gender. Although it
sounds fun, I decided not to do so as the gender information is not encoded in Bigelo and I do
not think that gender is relevant for backgammon either.
• Another suggestion was to investigate the link between a player’s performance (winning percentage or rating) on the one hand and the average rating of his or her opponents on the other
hand. It is to be expected that a player who meets low-rated opponents should win more often
than a player who meets high-rated opponents. However, this increased winning percentage
should not have a beneficial impact on that player’s rating, by the construction of the rating
update formula, see Appendix A.1.
• Finally, Toon Van Herreweghen offered an insightful explanation on the decrease of the average
rating over time (page 9) and he rightly issued some warnings about the impact of the ramp-up
period on the yearly rating lists (page 19).

Preface to the First Edition
Playing backgammon is great fun. Organizing backgammon life is fun as well. Writing this report
has been an immense pleasure for me: it shows how live backgammon in Belgium has been growing
during the past few years thanks to the deliberate efforts of a number of hard working people.
Comments on this report are welcome by email to BGLeuven@gmail.com. Suggestions will be
taken into account for the next edition, scheduled to appear next year.
Thank you to the creators of the Belgian backgammon rating list, Gerhard Koops and Toon Van
Herreweghen. Thank you also to everybody who has been involved in backgammon organization
in Belgium. In particular, I’d like to mention Patrick De Wilde, partner in crime in the management
of the Backgammon Club Leuven; Guy Van Middelem, for the great collaboration in the creation
and promotion of the Belgian Backgammon Federation, BGFed.be; and Mr and Ms Akbar and Fakhri
Soltani–Salasi, for their warm sympathy and financial support for the activities we organize. Thank
you also to Patrick for suggesting the list of biggest upsets and the rating lists per match length. Finally,
a warm thanks to Nadia, for forgiving me the ridiculous amounts of time and energy I’m spending
on this little dice game of ours, which we learned together over summer holidays in Greece in 1999,
and for allowing me the “me-time” required to carry out this writing and programming project over
the Christmas holidays.

Chapter 1
Introduction
Backgammon is a game of skill and luck. From the result of a small number of matches, it is difficult
to see who is the stronger player and by how much. A better way to measure a player’s skill is through
his or her performance over a large number of matches.
The rating is a summary measure of a player’s long-term performance. The rating is calculated
from a list of match results. For each match, the facts recorded are the names of the winner and the
loser, the match length, and the date.
The rating list which is the subject of this report was started up by Gerhard Koops in May 2005 to
track the performance of players in the Backgammon Club Leuven. At the end of 2005, some players
from the club in Ghent entered the list as well. The rating formula was the one commonly used for
backgammon matches and is explained in Section A.1 at the back. The list was maintained manually
by Gerhard in an Excel file. This was a tedious job, and the last matches processed in this way were
recorded by the end of 2007.
A new era began when Anton “Toon” Van Herreweghen, also from the Backgammon Club Leuven,
decided in the fall 2008 to revive Gerhard’s rating list by giving it a web interface. This was a fantastic
idea for three reasons: the match results could be recorded by several people from several clubs; the
ratings could now be calculated automatically and instantaneously; the ratings became visible for everybody and always. The workload was now divided among several people and its scope was greatly
enlarged. Toon coined the system Bigelo, after the father, Prof. Arpad Elo (1903–1992), of the chess
rating system. The web interface was programmed in Ruby on Rails and hosted on http://bigelo.
heroku.com. The actual rating list can be found on http://bigelo.heroku.com/ranking/1.
The matches taken into consideration concern live matches between players registered in the
system. The player list roughly corresponds to players active in Belgium. The matches are played
at club evenings or at tournaments in Belgium, and sometimes also private matches or matches at
tournaments abroad, always between players in the rating list. In this way, this match list is a gold
mine of information on the history and evolution of the (live) backgammon community in Belgium.
The content of this report is as follows:
• Chapter 2 traces the evolution of the rating list over the years. It tells us about the growth of
the Belgian backgammon community, which took off sharply in 2009. Moreover, we can trace
the increase of the rating record and we get to know some fun facts, such as the biggest upsets
(least probable victories) and the longest winning streak.
• The rating lists are collected in Chapter 3. Apart from the actual rating list as of December 31,
2014, for all 200 players ever registered in Bigelo (Section 3.1), there are also some partial
lists. In Section 3.2, ratings are calculated for each year from 2005 up to 2014 separately,
5

incorporating only the matches played in that year. In Section 3.3, ratings are calculated for
each match length 1, 3, . . . , 15 separately. We learn that the performance of players can vary
strongly over different match lengths.
• Finally, the rating formula and some technical details are explained in Appendix A.
Chapter 2
The ratings through the years
2.1
Growth of the Belgian backgammon community
From the list of matches, we can build a picture about the degree of activity of the registered backgammon players in Belgium: See Figure 2.1. The top row focuses on matches, the bottom row on players.
The top left panel shows the number of registered matches in each month starting from May 2005
up to December 2014. The peak month was November 2014, when 369 matches were recorded,
stemming in large part from the 2nd Brussels Backgammon Day (November 1) and the 6th Leuven
Open (November 30). The top right panel gives the total number of matches as a function of time.
By December 31, 2014, a total of 9655 matches have been recorded in Bigelo.
The bottom left panel shows for each month since May 2005 the number of players for which a
match has been recorded. In 2014, this number hovers between 40 and 50 players in a month, with
a peak of 53 players in May 2014.
From the figures, we clearly see the transition around the end of 2008 from the initial Excel-based
rating system kept manually by Gerhard Koops in Leuven to the global web-based rating list Bigelo
implemented by Toon Van Herreweghen and fed with matches by representatives from all clubs in
Belgium.
A second observation is the gradual increase in activity since 2009. To complement the pictures,
here is a list of some new backgammon initiatives in Belgium taken since 2009:
• The Backgammon Club Leuven started a yearly Open tournament in 2009 and a club championship in 2011.
• The interclub competition The 4 Cubes was created in 2009.
• The monthly Brussels Friendly tournament series was initiated in December 2010.
• A new club was created in Brugge in August 2011.
• The Belgian Backgammon Federation BGFed.be was created in 2012. It took over the organization of The 4 Cubes and launched the Belgian Individual Championship in 2013.
• The first Brussels Backgammon Day took place in November 2013.
Of course, the existing clubs and tournaments continued to attract people: club evenings in Ghent
and the yearly Ghent Open, the yearly Antwerp Open and the Masters tournament in Antwerp, and
the club evenings in Hasselt.

Decrease in average rating and increase in rating variation
The rating list shown on Bigelo provides a view of the situation today. However, given the match list,
we can travel back in time and reconstruct the rating list at each day in the past. In this way, we get
a snapshot of how the ratings looked like on that particular day.
What we can learn is for instance the way in which the ratings have evolved over time: the
average rating, the highest and the lowest rating, and the variation in the ratings over the players.
These statistics are shown in Figure 2.2, based on the reconstructed rating lists at the last day of each
month from May 2005 up to December 2014.
A first thing to notice is the gradual decrease of the average rating. From a starting value of 1500,
it went down to 1477.21 on December 31, 2014. This is close to the median rating: out of 200
players, the rating of the player with rank 100 is equal to 1476.01. The change in average rating is
made possible by the ramp-up period (Appendix A.1), by which the amount of rating points won by
the winner of a match is not necessarily equal to the amount of points lost by the loser. In particular,
beginning players win or lose more points per match than more experienced players. The precise
reason why the average rating goes down rather than up is more difficult to explain. Currently, the
initial rating of 1500 with which beginning players enter into the system seems to be a bit too high,
and they often start their career with a big drop. Perhaps the playing level of the community as a
whole has increased, so that a player having a rating of 1500 at December 31, 2014, is stronger than
a player with a rating of 1500 in 2005.
A second observation is the increasing rating variation. Currently, the highest and the lowest
ratings are almost 600 points apart. The standard deviation1 has grown to a number just above 100.
The interpretation of this number is that the ‘typical’ player has a rating not more than roughly two
standard deviations (2 × 100 = 200) away from the average rating (about 1477), that is, between,
roughly, 1275 and 1680.

Rating records
In Figure 2.2, the highest rating at the end of each day of the month since May 2005 was shown. This
highest rating can go up and down according to the performance of the current rating leader from
month to month.
Of interest is also the rating record, that is, the highest rating achieved up to a given day. Obviously,
the rating record cannot go down: if the record is broken, it goes up, and otherwise, it stays flat.
The evolution of the rating record is shown in Figure 2.3. The vertical dashed lines indicate a
change of record holder. The full list of rating records, record holders, and the date at which the
record was achieved is given below the figure. The record rating up to December 31, 2014, which is
1818, has been obtained by Michel Lamote on 2014-12-30.

Rating lists
3.1
Complete rating list at December 31, 2014
At December 31, 2014, a total of 200 players are registered in Bigelo. Not all of them are visible
on the webpage of the rating list, http://bigelo.heroku.com/ranking/1. Currently, the visibility
rules are as follows:
• Players are visible in the main table if their experience is at least 100 and if their most recent
match is not longer than 6 months ago.
• Players are visible in the ‘Incubation’ table if their experience is less than 100 and their most
recent match is not longer than 3 months ago.
• All other players are invisible.
On the following pages, the ratings are shown for all 200 registered players. Besides the rating
on December 31, 2014, each player’s personal best is displayed as well. A more detailed view of a
player’s rating history can be obtained by clicking on a player’s name on Bigelo.
The final three columns are related to a player’s activity. The dates of the first and the last registered match tell us when a player has been active. The variable ‘exp.’ (experience) is defined as the
sum of the lengths of the matches registered in Bigelo involving that player.

Belgian Backgammon Ratings (2005–2014)
3.2
19
Rating lists per year
Suppose that each year, at the 1st of January, the rating list would be reset completely: every player
would start all over with a rating of 1500 and an experience of 0. Ratings would be computed
according to the matches played during that year only and according to the same rating formula as
for the global rating list. At the 31st of December, we would obtain a rating list showing the activity
and performance of players for that year, irrespectively of their rating history from previous years.
In the pages below, these yearly ratings are listed for each of the years 2005–2014. For each year,
the lists show us which players have been playing rated matches and how well they have performed.
Because the yearly ratings are often based on just a few matches, the number of victories and
defeats are given as well, putting the ratings into perspective.
These yearly rating lists are to be taken with a big grain of salt: because of the limited number of
matches, most players stay within the ramp-up period (Appendix A.1) throughout the whole year. This
means that the ratings are very sensitive to each match result, in particular to the most recently played
matches. More intelligent and robust ways to calculate yearly ratings could certainly be imagined.
However, for simplicity, the same rating formula as for the global rating list has been used throughout.

Belgian Backgammon Ratings (2005–2014)

Rating lists per match length
Playing a 1-point match is different from playing a 11-point match. For 1-point matches, the game
reduces to finding the checker play leading to the highest winning probability. For longer matches,
cube decisions have a large impact, and the value of winning or losing a gammon needs to be carefully
evaluated.
In the global rating list, the results from matches of all lengths are pooled together. According
to the rating formula, longer matches have a larger impact than shorter ones: results from longer
matches are believed to be more informative. It is as if running times on the 100m sprint up to the
marathon are pooled together, with more weight being given to the longer distances.
However, if we believe that different match lengths require different skills, then it is interesting
to split up the rating list according the match length. The following pages show the rating lists
based on matches of length 1, 3, . . . , 15 separately given the match results up to and including
December 31, 2014. For convenience, the variable experience has been replaced by the variables
wins and losses, counting the number of matches won and lost for that particular match length.
The rating formula is the same as for the global rating list.

Appendix A
Technicalities
A.1
The rating formula
The mathematics behind the rating system are excellently explained on the website Backgammon
Galore!, more precisely at http://www.bkgm.com/faq/Ratings.html. Below is a summary.
At the heart of the rating system is a formula postulating the winning probability of a player with
rating A against a player with rating B in a match to L points:
p
p(A, B, L) = 1/ 1 + 10−(A−B)
L/2000
.

In the left-hand panel of Figure A.1, these probabilities are shown for a number of common match
lengths, L, and rating differences, A − B.

and rating differences A− B. Right: Rating points diff(A, B, L) in (A.1.2) to be exchanged when a player
rated A wins an L-point match from a player rated B.
If a player with rating A wins an L-point match against a player with rating B, then the rating of

the winner increases by the following amount:

The rating of the loser decreases by the same amount. The lower your winning probability, the higher
the amount of points you can win by a victory and the smaller the amount of points you can lose by
a defeat. The points diff(A, B, L) won or lost are shown in the right-hand panel of the Figure A.1.
A new player enters the list with a rating of 1500. This may be very much off his or her ‘true’
rating. Since the amount points won or lost per match is modest, it may take many matches before a
player’s rating correctly reflects his or her real strength. To accelerate this process, the points gained
or lost per match as defined in equation (A.1.2) above are multiplied by a factor, K, which is a function
of a player’s experience, E, defined as the sum of the lengths of the matches registered in the system
involving that player:
‹

E
,1 .
(A.1.3)
K(E) = max 4 − 3
400
Initially, when E = 0, the factor K is equal to 4. It then decreases linearly until the player has reached
an experience of E = 400, at which point the factor K reaches 1. From that point on, it stays constant
at 1, meaning that the points at stake per match are given by (A.1.2) without modification. The
formula (A.1.3) is illustrated in Figure A.2.

experience E
Figure A.2: For a player with experience E, the rating points gained or lost as defined in (A.1.2) are
multiplied with the factor K(E) defined in (A.1.3).
Since two players may have different experiences, E1 and E2 , the amount of rating points won by
the winner is not necessarily equal to the amount of rating points lost by the loser. This explains the
gradual decrease of the average rating in Bigelo over the years visible in Figure 2.2: inexperienced,
overrated players lose more points than are gained by their more experienced opponents. However,
if both players have an experience of 400 or more, their K-factors are both equal to one, and the
amount of rating points won by the winner is indeed equal to the amount of points lost by the loser.
You can experiment with the above formulas by substituting values for A, B, E1 , E2 and L in the
appropriate fields in http://home.nordnet.fr/~fhochede/ratings.shtml.
Belgian Backgammon Ratings (2005–2014)

By the way in which the match results are aggregated into the rating, a larger weight is given to
more recent matches, so that somebody’s rating reflects his or her strength at the moment, perhaps
with a short delay. Contrary to a common misbelief, a player is not handicapped by a low rating
resulting from a long history of matches; if that player starts to win more games, his or her rating
will increase immediately.

The match lists can be downloaded from Bigelo. For instance, the list for the year 2005 can be
downloaded in xml format from
http://bigelo.heroku.com/1/xml/matches/2005
and similarly for more recent years. The structure is of the file is as follows:
<matches>
<match>
<id>41</id>
<date>2005-05-14</date>
<length>3</length>
<winner>
<name>Christof Nuyttens</name>
<rating>1500</rating>
<rating_diff>17.3205080756888</rating_diff>
</winner>
<loser>
<name>Li´
evin Vandenplas</name>
<rating>1500</rating>
<rating_diff>-17.3205080756888</rating_diff>
</loser>
</match>
...
</matches>
We learn that the first match ever recorded was a 3-point match, Christof Nuyttens defeating Liévin
Vandenplas on May 14, 2005. The match-id is an internal number, which has to do with the order
in which matches have been encoded in Bigelo. To sort matches, first sort them by date and then by
match-id.
For easy manipulation in a spreadsheet or statistical software, it is convenient to transform the
above xml file into a csv file. This can be done via the file import.xsl:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<xsl:output method="text" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="no"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="matches/match">
<xsl:value-of select="id"/><xsl:text>;</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="date"/><xsl:text>;</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="length"/><xsl:text>;</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="winner/name"/><xsl:text>;</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="winner/rating"/><xsl:text>;</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="winner/rating_diff"/><xsl:text>;</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="loser/name"/><xsl:text>;</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="loser/rating"/><xsl:text>;</xsl:text>

60
<xsl:value-of select="loser/rating_diff"/><xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Within a terminal window, from within the directory containing the above file import.xsl, run the
command
$ xsltproc import.xsl http://bigelo.heroku.com/1/xml/matches/2005 >> matches2005.csv
This produces the file matches2005.csv, each line of which contains the data for a single match.
The file can be opened in a spreadsheet for further processing (which is not what I did, see below).
If you would like to have the file, just send me an email.

This document
This document has been written in the document preparation system LATEX, which is freely available
from http://www.latex-project.org/. The calculations have been done via R, a free software
environment for statistical computation and graphics, see http://www.r-project.org/. Both programs run on the Windows, MacOS, and Linux operating systems. Personally, I’m using Ubuntu,
which is a commercially sponsored Debian-derived Linux distribution.
The R-code has been inserted directly in the LATEX markup. The source code for this document
consists of a single rnw file. This file needs to be processed twice:
1. First, only the chunks of R-code are executed. The result is, on the one hand, a tex file containing pure LATEX code containing all the numerical output extracted from the match listings
and, on the other hand, the figures files in pdf format.
2. Second, the tex file is compiled together with the figure files. This yields the final document
in pdf format, with automatic generation of the table of contents, the index and the internal
hyperlinks.
For next year’s edition, only a couple of lines in the source file will need to be changed, and the
document will be up-to-date again. If you want to know more or if you want to be involved in the
writing of this document, feel free to contact me.
