The UK Backgammon Federation
I’ve been developing and running Backgammon Hub (www.backgammonhub.com) for a few years now. The site is kindly sponsored by the UKBGF which helps pay the server costs. The UKBGF hosts quite a few tournaments, and the integrity of the dice is very important.
I think most players accept that online dice are random, just like real dice. But there are the vocal conspiracy theorists who are hard to silence. They tend to spread the idea that sites are manipulating the dice unfairly.
[Read more…]On behalf of the UKBGF as well as David Potter, Tony Lezard, and myself, a huge thanks for all your support for the UKBGF Online League, from its conception in late 2020 to today. As we have always said, this is “your” league and one to take pride in and enjoy. It is by far the largest online league in the world and now boasts nearly 400 players from all corners of the globe.
As the league’s inaugural year draws to a close, congratulations to everyone who won the coveted dice boxes kindly supplied by Katgammon.
NOVEMBER 27th and 28th …. LIMITED TO 128 PLAYERS …. PLEASE REGISTER QUICKLY!
With the worst of the pandemic (hopefully) now behind us, life is slowly returning to something approaching ‘normal’….and live backgammon is also returning.
During the pandemic, online play has been the only option for most of us. The two dominant platforms recently have been Backgammon Galaxy and Backgammon Studio Heroes, but there’s a new kid on the block….
Backgammon Hub (“Hub”) is a new and growing site offering sophisticated tournament functionality as well as one-to-one scheduled matches. It was designed and built for small clubs that have been driven online by the pandemic and for players wanting to arrange that online league match with an opponent, or simply for matches with a friend. The site is hosted on Amazon cloud, so it won’t suffer scalability issues as it grows.
