Sold out within two days, a full field of 128 players participated in Backgammon London’s annual end of season event.
Sponsored by P-40, who generously provided three boards, and GammonVillage, who likewise provided three boards for the runners-up, the event as ever ably organised by David and Jill, produced a wonderful weekend of tournament backgammon amid great sportsmanship – all highlighting the wonderful community we have, appreciated by us all in these trying times.

To welcome in the New Year, the UKBGF is launching two ambitious new events: the UKBGF Online League and the 2021 UKBGF Online Knockout.
Open to UKBGF members only, each event is a fantastic opportunity to play in a competition with players from all over the UK, and hopefully some of our international members. Make no mistake, we are aiming high, and want these events to have as many members participating as possible. Both the league and the knockout are free to enter and will commence in January 2021. Both events will be run this year by David Potter, Tony Lezard, and Andrew Selby.
