Hi Fibsters,
GammonLeague (
http://gammonleague.free.fr) is a new free website for Backgammon tournaments. So far it has been hosting Fibsleagammon Team League for already 2 seasons.
Now I'd like to present GammonLeague to a broader public and on this occasion announce the
GammonLeague Introductory Live Tournament. You are invited to join this tournament, which will introduce a new tournament type to FIBS.
GammonLeague Introductory Live TournamentTargeted audiencePlayers with a FIBS login who are courteous and fair, respect others and enjoy Backgammon are invited to join this tournament, to have fun and to improve their playing skills.
Tournament formatThe tournament will be played as a real-time single elimination bracket tournament. This means when you lose you're out, if you win you enter the next round. Matches of the same round are played simultaneously. The pairings are randomly drawn, and Byes are evenly distributed across the bracket.
Match lengthsThe match lengths will be
11 points, except for the semi-finals which will be
15 points and the final which will be
19 points.
Time scheduleThe first round of the tournament will
start on Wednesday, Sep 21, 2005 at 17:00 UTC. The following rounds will be played on the same weekday and the same time
one round per week, thus every Wednesday at 17:00 UTC. Depending on the number of Byes in round one, the first and the second round may be both played on the first day.
Entry feeNone. It's free. There's however only personal satisfaction and probably praise from the other players as prizes.
Sign-upPlayers wishing to enter the tournament need to be registered on GammonLeague and have an active account on FIBS with a minimum of 100 experience points and a positive reputation balance with RepBot.
Sign-up to the tournament is open until 30 minutes before the start of the first round (Wednesday, Sep 21, 2005 16:30 UTC). It is however encouraged to sign up well in advance. Please see
the main page and the
FAQ for the registration and sign-up procedure.
