Board Game Tournaments (BGT) and its definitions

Two special cases of BGT are CGT (checker game tournaments) and SGT (chess game tournaments).
Initially, we will focus only on CGT which works as follows (from back cover of Ref. 2) :

This book introduces each person of the general population to a unique FUN way of making a new recreational living or profiting handsomely (!!!) via one day Board Game Tournaments (BGT) centered initially about the familiar game of checkers for the OVERPOWERING REASONS STATED AND PROVEN BEYOND ANY DOUBT HEREIN with 50% of the entrants as BGT "winners" in each one day tournament with one game per opponent (selected randomly by draw) and eight opponents (games) per day.
Each of the 50% highest scores will approximately DOUBLE his/her tournament entry fee, "e"=$20, $50, or $100, or ..., selected by the "house"(i.e. any major hotel in the USA) in any one day tournament which can be held 365 days per year. The "house", 50% winners, and "backers of the 50% winners" (spectators) will all profit handsomely (!!!) specifically as detailed in the mathematical formulas presented, explained, and concretely demonstrated in this book. It is predicted that crime would then be greatly lessened because there would now be DAILY FUN, INTERESTING, and PROFITABLE things to do for all segments of the participating general population. Thus it would be of great benefit to society.
This book explains and proves in detail why checkers is the IDEAL GAME OF CHOICE for BGT. It is a fascinating and truly INEXHAUSTIBLE & UNMASTERABLE game of 100% pure skill as is abundantly proven beyond ANY DOUBT herein. It is played around the world under different names in different countries.Excluding the game of romance between men and women, it is the number one fun game in the world. Brand new improvements on checkers are presented and illustrated in apendices D, B, & C. Appendix A presents a wealth of tutorial material on checkers & much advanced material which proves the INEXHAUSTIBILITY & UNMASTERABILITY of checkers and why it is the number one game of choice among other excellent board games of fun and skill., such as CHESS, GO TEEKO, CHINESE CHECKERS & BACKGAMMON.  All of these should eventually be included in BGT.
A highly recommended new contract bridge scoring system is ALSO included.
BOTTOM LINE ... The reader is missing out on a lifetime of pleasure and profitability if he doesn't indulge. Help get BGT started. It would take thousands of dollars locally in any city in the USA. Whoever starts BGT legally, honestly, and morally can profit beyond their wildest dreams. This book explains how.
There is also an optional mechanism for vastly increasing the profits of a 50% winner.
For players who have been 50% winners in at least four CGT tournaments, advanced CGT should then be implemented.

Improved Casino card game

This is described in Ref.5, "World's Most Skillful Poker Game + Most Fantastic Board Game; 7 Card California HILO (CAHILO) + Color Checkers  (CC) + Casino"

Cost: $10.00 from the author

California HILO poker

 The author maintains that this is a substantial improvement over no-limit Texas hold'em, which is the panacea of poker tournaments today. The one negative is that it would be much harder for the TV audience to grasp all of the subtleties of play, so that more TV time would have to be devoted to each hand. However, the improvements over no-limit Texas hold'em are very substantial (Ref 5).

Re: contract bridge

Refer to Ref.1, p. 148 for the new and better contract bridge scoring system which accomplishes the following: Three no-trump, four in a major and five in a minor suit is still game, and slam bonuses are still the same, but part-score games are much harder to obtain.Thus, it is very important to stop one level short of game if you can't make game. This tends to lengthen the rubber and make it more competitive in the long run, so that the cards can more readily equal out. Thus, skill is increased. For several reasons, over-tricks are not counted except when doubled or re-doubled, and whose concepts are the same. Bonus tricks are awarded for each level bid and made beyond game. Example: Three hearts needed for game, five hearts is bid and made. Since five hearts is two levels beyond game, two bonus tricks worth 60 points each are awarded. Slam points are the five-bid score plus the usual slam bonuses.  Set points are exactly the same. All in all, this new scoring system is more accurate and skillful.
