Despite the loss of live play, and one of our hosts being stranded in Spain (!) the UK backgammon season’s traditional end of year event managed to still take place online as planned.

Sold out within two days, a full field of 128 players participated in Backgammon London’s annual end of season event.
Sponsored by P-40, who generously provided three boards, and GammonVillage, who likewise provided three boards for the runners-up, the event as ever ably organised by David and Jill, produced a wonderful weekend of tournament backgammon amid great sportsmanship – all highlighting the wonderful community we have, appreciated by us all in these trying times.
…Well, the small bit of the BackgammonGalaxy platform at least, within which the finals of the Harris + Hoole Cup 2020 played out last weekend.

To welcome in the New Year, the UKBGF is launching two ambitious new events: the UKBGF Online League and the 2021 UKBGF Online Knockout.
Open to UKBGF members only, each event is a fantastic opportunity to play in a competition with players from all over the UK, and hopefully some of our international members. Make no mistake, we are aiming high, and want these events to have as many members participating as possible. Both the league and the knockout are free to enter and will commence in January 2021. Both events will be run this year by David Potter, Tony Lezard, and Andrew Selby.
The new UKBGF Code of Conduct (“the Code”) has value as both a guideline on the expected behaviour of players, and a statement of the UKBGF’s values and commitments towards its members and the backgammon community.
It can be found here, and on the Resources page of the website under section 3. Rules and Conduct. [Read more…]
