Mark your calendar! Featuring US$6,000 in added money, the 2024 International Backgammon Championship takes place September 26-30, 2024 in beautiful Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
The tournament’s locale is the brand-new backgammon playing room at Bamboo Blu, a short walk from several hotels.
Of course, Voice of Backgammon will be there for color commentary, with international experts providing reality checks.
A limited number of complementary rooms are available for first-timers (this is the 3rd year for the tournament). If that sounds good to you (and if it doesn’t I want your financial status!), drop me a line at larry@voiceofbackgammon.com.
Flights are inexpensive and plentiful to either Montego Bay or Kingston (both taxi rides from the event, with Montego Bay closer).
And tournament director extraordinaire Jeb Horton promises a full smorgasbord of events, including Open and Intermediate, multiple Jackpots, Doubles, DMPÂ (1-pt games), and Speedgammon.
This will be a world class, professionally-run event.
For more information, call 876-550-9732, email info@bgcj.net, or visit backgammonchampionshipjamaica.com. To enquire about the comp rooms, email larry@voiceofbackgammon.com.
I look forward to seeing you in Jamaica!
Warm regards,
Larry
