Looking at Backgammon Clubs
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios


Defined Tag:

There are backgammon clubs all over the world because this game is so very popular. They meet regularly, weekly or monthly and allow people the chance to sit down and spend the evening playing their favorite game with other backgammon enthusiasts. Many of the clubs will provide you with the backgammon boards while others will ask that you bring your own. An individual who is very much like you usually runs them, a backgammon enthusiast looking to spend a fun evening playing their favorite game.

Depending on the individual running the game the club will host you at a variety of sites. Sometimes it is the home or workplace of the club administrator. Perhaps they have a large finished basement where people can play. If this is the case then there will likely be no fees for playing. Sometimes it is at a community centre. These places will often lend space for no cost but other times they will charge something small. If this is the case there may be a small joining fee to play. The backgammon clubs will also hold yearly tournaments. If they do they will charge an entry fee so that they are able to afford prizes for their members.

Most backgammon clubs will allow players to join no matter what their skill level is. This gives beginners the opportunity to play with those who are of a higher skillet and so to learn from better players. Some clubs only want members who have been playing for a long time. It depends completely on the club administrator how things are done. Some clubs will allow you to bring a guest to play, others demand that only members attend.

Some backgammon clubs will allow the players to play for money. Betting some small amount on each game or using the doubling cubes to influence how much a game is worth. Many others will not, feeling that betting on the games takes away from the fun of an evening. If you decide to join a local club, find out their rules first to make sure it’s the kind of place you want to go. Going to backgammon clubs will give you the chance to play and meet others like you who enjoy the game and maybe even sharpen our skills.

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 12:29:33 -0700

We’re all well aware by now that the Dog Snuggie is a thing — it even has its own website and informative URL, snuggiefordogs.com — so when I came across a bunch of Dog Snuggies for sale in a housewares store over the weekend, I wasn’t initially thrown off. What I did not know, however, is that the box for Dog Snuggies features a picture of two little dogs in Snuggies playing Backgammon: SOLD ...

PETE ROSE wants to know, what kind of a guy was Ty Cobb? He knows the answer, he just wants you to think about it before you ask him whether he belongs in baseball's Hall of Fame. He knows that there's a fistful of bigots and braggarts in the Hall of Fame, some drunks and skunks, cheaters and wife-beaters.
