FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A little clarity
before your next step.

Answers about digital products, personalised analysis and support.

What is IPEAR?

Insight, Plan, Equity, Alternatives and Refinement: Connor’s five-part framework for thinking through backgammon decisions.

What is included in a flashcard collection?

Each of the five collections contains 40 training positions with structured IPEAR explanations and computer analysis. Explore the original covers and sample galleries on the Flashcards page.

How will digital downloads be delivered?

Payhip handles secure checkout. Flashcards and the Checker Tracker are delivered through the Payhip download page after purchase, with access details by email. Personalised services initially provide START HERE instructions; the completed analysis follows after you supply your match files.

Which software does the Checker Tracker require?

The tracker is a Microsoft Excel workbook (.xlsx). Desktop Microsoft Excel is recommended for full functionality. Google Sheets and mobile spreadsheet compatibility are not guaranteed. It uses your entered data and category ratings; it does not analyse backgammon moves.

How does Mini MOT™ work?

The workbook uses entered information for statistics and your manually assigned category ratings to select authored qualitative feedback. It does not analyse individual checker moves.

Is Backgammon MOT™ the same service?

Backgammon MOT™ is a coach-prepared assessment service. Mini MOT™ is the integrated workbook appraisal.

How can I enquire about coaching?

Email connordickinson789@gmail.com to discuss individual coaching, availability or a product question.

Where can I get product support?

Email connordickinson789@gmail.com and quote your Payhip order number. If your download email is missing, check your spam folder and contact Connor.

Which payments will you accept?

Purchases are processed by Payhip using the payment methods shown at its checkout, including card and PayPal where offered. Payment details are not collected on this website.

What is the digital-product refund policy?

See the Delivery, terms and cancellation page. Your statutory rights are preserved. Contact Connor with your order number about a faulty, inaccessible or misdescribed product, or to request cancellation. Downloading START HERE instructions alone does not mean your personalised match analysis has been completed.
