what are the rules for Etiquette?

I think first and foremost, you must learn how to handle the dice properly. They are the most sensitive part of the game's equipment. and also when playing this game, manners count. If you treat your opponent the way you’d like to be treated, then chances are you will always be able to find an opponent willing to face you.

I think that whether you are playing backgammon, another game or partaking in any other aspect of life - the best way to enjoy it is to remain respectful and play as a "good sport".

I do agree with you guys. You do need to have good manners when playing any game, especially backgammon. And you do need to know the rules before playing with someone because they might not be so kind if you don't know what you are doing.

I think however that anyone who loves the game would be keen to teach and support a player who is learning the rules.
