These are 32 player 7pt double elimination tournaments held on FIBS. Entry is free, however each time you lose you have to send a postcard to your opponent, and the overall winner gets postcards from everyone!
Full details can be found at: www.fibsboard.com/postcard (http://www.fibsboard.com/postcard)
Here are all the rules:
* First rule is have fun and be good
* All matches are 7 points long
* Most matches played on FIBS, but if both agree then any backgammon match counts
* Loser of every match must send a postcard to the winner
* All players participating send postcards to the final winner
* Real postcards must be sent (not eCards)
* You need to give a postal address to your opponents when you win
* All players continue until losing two matches
* Players may be seeded by rating and location in the first round
* Both winners and losers report results on the website
* Winners report through the match links when they've received cards
* One free FIBS t-shirt will be won by a random draw from all entrants
* Failing to send cards results in bans from future tournaments
* Players generally have two weeks to complete matches per round
* In the event of a dispute we'll try to be fair
* Tournament directors reserve the right to refuse entry
