Apologies, I don't understand. Board rotation has no bearing on standard notation. The board can be rotated any way at all and the notation doesn't change.

Presumably as you can rotate the board to suit your preference standard notation might not work.

Why is game notation done in this strange way? Is there any way GoldToken could convert to standard backgammon notation?

If your opponent chooses to offer a double, they have to do it before they roll. Therefore, if you accept, they then roll. If you decline, then the computer will roll one dice for you and one for your opponent to decide who starts the next round. Whoever gets the highest number plays that roll. If it's a double the dice are rolled again.
