Jacoby Rule

The Jacoby Rule is named after gamesman Oswald Jacoby. Jacoby rule states that gammon and backgammon will come into effect, if and only if the player has announced a double and accepted by the opponent.

The Jacoby Rule is mostly applied in Money game to encourage a player for higher points in a game of double. This also brings speed in the game, where the player never waits for the gammon or backgammon; rather he announces double for faster points. Jacoby rules are applicable essentially for money play but hardly used in Match play.
