WY Monthly Backgammon 2024
There will be 12 monthly rounds to be held at Clayton Village Hall, Bradford
All monthly tournaments will start at 12.00pm prompt. Last registrations taken 15 minutes before start times.
There will be no intermediate leagues this year. Instead there will be individual quarterly and annual leagues.
At the end of each quarter there will be prize money (see tables below) awarded to the top 2 masters & intermediate players of the previous 3 months.
An intermediate player is one that would qualify as per the UK Tour 2024 Intermediate eligibility rules as follows: – Tour rating >= 1600 or previous Pennine winner = Master, tour rating <1600 = Intermediate.
However an intermediate player can opt to play as a 'master' but must choose this option prior to playing their first event.
The UKBGF list can be found at https://ukbgf.com/uk-tour-2024-intermediate-eligibility/
For players without a tour rating the TD has sole discretion
Each quarter will start afresh giving all players an equal chance of cashing.
There will be an annual league table with a trophy for the winner and runner up.
Points will be accumulated as follows for both quarterly and annual leagues: -
4 wins (no byes) = 2 points, 3 wins + 1 bye win = 1.5 points, 3 wins = 1 point, 2 wins + 1 bye win = 0.5 points.
In the event of tied players in quarterly leagues prizes will be shared equally.
In the event of tied players in annual leagues the finishing position will be determined by the following tie break rules:
1. Most events won
2. Matches won
3. Most attendances
4. Head-to-head
5. If still tied there will be a play-off between players involved.
Quarterly and Xmas prizes will be financed by the excess collected from registrations and rakes after admin/venue costs are deducted.
As the money used to fund this competition is coming from registration fees (i.e. the more events you attend the more you contribute) there will be an eligibility criteria*.
*To qualify for quarterly prizes players must attend at least 2 events in the relevant quarter
To qualify for Xmas prizes & annual league trophies players must attend at least 6 events in 2024
