Compete in World Gammon Tournaments

Once you have learned to love this exciting game there is nothing quite like going up against some of the world's best Backgammon players. But be prepared, this isn't going to be a walk in the park and the stakes can be very high. Here are some basic things about world Gammon tournaments that you need to be familiar with before you decide to go on the road to make your fame and fortune on the world Backgammon circuit.

Decide how you want to play. There are two forms of world Gammon tournaments. The first, and traditional option, is by playing in a brick and mortar gaming facility, hotel, or wherever the directors set up the tournament. There are a lot of regional Backgammon tournaments set up this way and they are relatively easy to get into with little or no qualifying criteria. You do have to qualify at this level, however, to advance to the larger world Gammon games. A lot of times these will be set up in Bingo halls.

The other option, and one that is quickly becoming very popular, are world Gammon tournaments that are being played online. There are many advantages to this and some of the premier world Gammon tournaments are beginning to use this platform for game play. The reason that this is so popular is that it allows players from literally all over the world to play with relative ease. Instead of having to transport the world's best to London, for example, the world's best can simply meet at 5:00 PM (GMT) and play. While world Gammon competitions are changing the way in which they're played, the game itself is timeless and will never change.
