 We will be in the pool room which is to the left when you walk in 

Normally Come every 2nd Tuesday of each month to our Backgammon Tourney in the Burbs! However this time I will be out of town during that time so I am rescheduling it to the following week.

Do not be put off by the name as we are a friendly group who love shaking the dice, socializing and putting you on the bar. While some games do get competitive, we have the tournament mostly for a way for all of us to get to know each other and improve our games.

Every event brings us some new people and some from our regular group. While who shows up is always different, the one thing that is consistent is that everyone has a great time laughing, crying at the other player's doubles (you know who you are), and smiling.

The event fee is $3 (if you prepay) and $1 of each fee goes toward the tournament pot. If you would rather wait till you get there, then the event fee is $5 with $3 of each fee going toward the tournament pot.

We play a 3 point match with the doubling cube in action. If you do not know what that means, do not worry as we will explain it to you.

Hope to see you there!

    I would love to attend but I am currently in a neck brace and should not drive. Is there anyone (Ric?) in my area who would be willing to pick me up in Batavia?
