The UK Backgammon Federation
The UKBGF Online League and P-40 Knockout will be launching this weekend – on Saturday 16th January.
With a wonderful show of support from our growing membership, 342 players in the league (and 337 in the P-40 Cup) have entered what is now, by far, the largest online backgammon league in the world.

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.
Along with much else in 2020, the backgammon world was turned upside down because of COVID-19.

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.

My first backgammon game was in a small café in Brighton where they served Oolong in coloured teapots. Having lived a brief time in Greece, I’d seen the game before, but at a distance, tentatively. Didn’t you have to be over sixty and smoke to gain admission?
