Rules & objective
Selected WBF-Turkiye 2025 traditional edition. Each side has 15 checkers on 24/13/8/6 in 2/5/3/5, mirrored. First, each rolls one die; ties repeat. The higher player rerolls both dice, allowing opening doubles. Later the previous winner starts with two dice. Move 24→1 in your relative numbering, using separate dice and open intermediate points. Use the maximum playable numbers; if only one number can be used and either works, use the higher. Hit blots to the bar; reenter all bar checkers before other moves. Two opposing checkers block a point. Bear off only with all active checkers home 1–6; overshoots remove only the farthest. First to bear off 15 wins:1 point if the loser has borne off any, otherwise Mars 2 even with bar/home-board remnants. No cube or Crawford. This digital match ends at 9 points or above, without a turn cap.

Worked example
Contest the opening with one die each, then the starter rerolls both dice. Standard backgammon instead uses the opening contest dice.
