Play It For Good DG Charity Tournament!

A non-profit, "Play It For Good" -- is helping to run a backgammon tournament DailyGammon and DGat (DailyGammon Alternative Tournaments).

There are prizes and gifts.

Tournament players compete in round-robin groups to represent their favorite category of cause.  A final round-robin then determines the allocation of the proceeds.

DailyGammon New Server Tourneys -- Update

We are still waiting for a winner in the Novice Division, but other tournament winners have been -- or are being -- contacted to select their prizes. We held four tournaments to help celebrate (and raise funds/awareness of) DailyGammon's New Servers. We supplied several prizes -- and were able to obtain a few other prizes. Please click here for more information about the Tournaments and Prizes.

Below are the categories for each of the four tournaments. The tournaments were five-point matches except for the Beginner Level -- which were one-point matches.

Beginner (< 1400) -- Champion: "house of dogs." Finalist: "Jo King."

DailyGammon New Server Tourneys: links, notes

Here are links to the DailyGammon New Server Tournaments. The Advanced & Intermediate tournaments filled up rather quickly. We have additional prizes that we will blog about -- and perhaps we will open up one more tournament...

http://dailygammon.com/bg/event/31850 Advanced (open ratings)

http://dailygammon.com/bg/event/31851 Intermediate (suggested rating less than 1950)

http://dailygammon.com/bg/event/31852 Novice (less than 1600)

http://dailygammon.com/bg/event/31853 Beginner (less than 1400)

Notes to self (Re: DG tournaments)

• These tournaments were all set up for 6 rounds (64 players).
• The Advanced and Intermediate tournaments filled up rather quickly.
• The Novice & Beginner tournaments currently have 31 and 13 signups respectively (1 day).
• Thus, we can probably either expand the Advanced/Intermediate ratings or make those tournaments larger in the future.
