amstergammon Backgammon Tournament Rules & Procedures as of July 2018
For several years we played according the WBGT rules. Until July 2018.
Today there are several good sets of rules.
-
United States Backgammon Federation
USBGF rules, Sep 2017
Latest changes clarified -
Nordic Open by Dansk Backgammon Forbund
DBgF rules or EUBGF rules 1.3, Feb 2016 -
United Kingdom Backgammon Federation
UKBgF rules, 1.3 Aug 2015 -
Monte Carlo World Championship by BWCMC
The IPATT Group board rules,
no version, no date, for the Aug 2018 tournament
Let's link to this UKBgF article "A Rules Situation Update"
And thus, for the time being, Amstergammon chooses to play by the UKBgF rules, because
-
the US rules are running ahead of the tournaments on this side of the ocean
-
the EUBGF is looking for a wider backgammon platform in Europe
-
the WC rules are used for the World Championship, but no other Tournament is according to these rules.
And this is the link to the
PDF file
of the UKBgF rules and procedures.
The article
about the rules can be found on their website.
Please substitute UKBgF with Amstergammon while you read them.
