Tournament Details
We aim to give you a great weekend, with plenty of backgammon in an unusual and modern venue surrounded by iconic supercars.
Things will kick off on the Friday afternoon with both Masters and Intermediate 8-player satellite tournaments, speedgammon and DMP side events prior to the free entry warm-up where you can win an Artgammon board (if you're a UKBGF Member).
The main events for both Masters and Intermediates are double elimination events, which mean you have 2 lives before you are out. These will start on Saturday morning. Side events will continue throughout. In the evening there will be doubles and Super Jackpot tournaments.
On Sunday those still lucky enough to be alive in the main tournament will continue and for everyone else there will be the Tombstone Tournament (Consolation) for both Masters and Intermediates, with the winners of each playing for the Trophy.
Refreshments and food will be available from the American Diner located adjacent to the main playing area and a bar will be available on the mezzanine floor overlooking the space.
