Nope. The gammon and backgammon multipliers are only in effect if the
losing player \\has not borne off any men//. The position of the remaining
men is irrelevant - white can have one man borne off and the other 14
on the bar, and it is still no backgammon. Also, you can have all of your
men in your own inner table, but if your opponent bears off all his men
before you take one off, that is a gammon. Thus, this position is not
a gammon.
