Gammons and backgammons

At the end of the game, if the losing player has bourne off at least one checker, he loses only the value showing on the doubling cube (the original wager or one point if there have been no doubles). However, if the loser has not bourne off any of his checkers, he or she is gammoned and loses twice the value of the doubling cube. Moreover, if the loser has not bourne off any of his or her checkers and still has a checker on the bar or in the winners’ home board, he or she is backgammoned and loses three times the value of the doubling cube.
