DOUBLING CUBE

If a player thinks they are  in the position to win the game, they can turn the doubling cube and announce a double. This means that the total stake will be doubled. If their opponent refuses the double, he immediately loses their (undoubled) stake and the game is finished. At BGiE we use the doubling cube in all tournament matches.

CLOCK

For some reason, the mention of clocks seems to strike fear into the hearts of many players who haven’t used them before. While they may take a while to adapt to, when used appropriately, they enhance the enjoyment of tournament play for everyone.

CRAWFORD RULE

BGiE uses the Crawford rule which says when a player is 1 point away from winning the match, the cube is out of use for the next game. If the player who is 1 point away from winning fails to win that next game, the cube comes back into use for all subsequent games referred to as ‘Post Crawford’.  It is most often in the best interests of the trailing player to double immediately in these games.
