In this Olympic period, I give you the opportunity to participate in a
competition, which in the spirit of Baron de Coubertin, would bring
together many people as possible, and a maximum of nations around our
favourite game : Backgammon. I will give to its outcome, 3 symbolic
medals to those nations that have been represented by their players
finalists.
I suggest that we start the tourney Wednesday, August 13, 12:00 PDT,
19:00 GMT, 21:00 CEST, 03:00 Thursday morning in Beijing.
The venue will not be beijing but on Fibs, the site is completely free
for access and availabe from Mac and Windows.
I chose a quick format : 1Pt with double elimination because I hope many
players. Do not disappoint me ;-)
Do not worry, this is not really serious, but don't you think it could
be fun ? As I proposed an exhibition match (Kit Woolsey vs Paul Money)
earlier this year which attracted no fewer than 80 people, I hope you
draw this time at the very heart of competition for the pleasure of all.
You have different softwares to connect to the server. For Mac and Windows.
