TOURNAMENTS

You may only play in 1 Tournament at a time.

All players pay £5 on the first tournament they enter as a registration fee.
 


Tournaments will be on demand
and vary in entry fees and match lengths.
In this way every player  gets to play what they want to play.

Most tournaments are 8 Player Events.
If you are knocked out you can enter another tournament


We start the day with a
Tournament Auction Entry Fee.(Format devised by Backgammon in London)

If you want to be part of this you must be in-situ
in front of the T.D. desk by 12.15  prompt.
(11.45 am is a better time to arrive by.)
Telephone registrations cannot be accepted.

All Fees are strictly in cash only.

Players are offered entry to Jackpot 1:
An 8 player 11 pointer minimum £10 obligatory pool tournament.

If there are more than 8 players
the entry fee is bid up until only 8 players
are willing to pay whatever the entry fee has gone up to.

Those 8 players then pay their entry fee,
their draw is made and off they go to play.

All other players will play in Jackpot 2

 

For these events, started by an auction,
there is a 5% auction charge.
 95% return.

As players lose I will open up more jackpots with optional ££5 pools ranging from 7-1 points depending on demand

in these jackpots it will be 100% return

All tournaments (except the auctioned tournaments)
will feature a come-back-in option
so that players do not need to arrive bang on 12.15
and can stop to eat or chat after a loss.


All pool monies will be handed over at the start of final matches -
it's up to finalists if they do a deal. Default is winner takes all.
