A vision for the next 50 years
By Will Cockerell
The Backgammon World Championships [BGWC] should be the jewel in the crown of backgammon matchplay, with five key ideals:
- To grow and promote the oldest, greatest boardgame in the world
- To put the players first and profiteering second, and to avoid all accusations of price-gouging and opportunism
- To be more readily accessible to the world’s most serious matchplayers
- Make the host city the best possible locale for the BGWC, with less consideration given to the fame or status of the city itself.
- To vastly increase the value and challenge of reaching the last 128 of the BGWC and ensure more of the world’s top players feature in the latter stages.
