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!

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.
