Backgammon Power Ratings: Zuperlist

We have updated our Zuperlist: a list that merges backgammon ratings from websites & clubs around the world. We attempt to normalize for skill at various sites -- and try to take a player's "peak" skill at various times.

Please visit Zroundtable.com's Backgammon area.

We have included ratings and statistics from the sources below. Please let us know if you would like to add (or delete) your club's ratings.

  • DailyGammon
  • Fibs
  • Giants of Backgammon
  • Flint Area Club
  • NYC Backgammon

DG New Server Tourney Prize: from Bob Koca

We have an additional prize, graciously donated by DG's own Bob Koca:

DG New Server Tourney Prize: from Carol Joy Cole

I've mentioned the DG New Server Tournaments to friends and the list of prizes is growing. A friend of mine, Carol Joy Cole, who is sometimes called the "first lady (or Queen) of American Backgammon" - has graciously offered $30 in gift certificates (for her backgammon shop).

She says she likes what Jordan has done with DailyGammon; we hope she will play at DG some time! :) Please visit her backgammon boutique.

Carol has also made the Giants of Backgammon list!

Backgammon Power Ratings

A while back, we corresponded with some friends and backgammon contacts around the world to put together a "Power Rating" list of the best backgammon players. We're going to re-visit that project and would love your input. Please add comments below and give us your input.

Sources of ratings and rankings from various websites, backgammon "giants," and locations would be very helpful. We'll then try to mesh the data in a quantitative and sensible manner to see where everyone fits in. Fun stuff!
