The Giko Backgammon Tournament Anonymous https://bbs.gikopoi.com/atom/thread/1742754978 2025-03-24T09:32:29+00:00 The Giko Backgammon Tournament https://bbs.gikopoi.com/post/1742754978/1 2025-03-23T18:36:18+00:00 2025-03-23T18:36:18+00:00 Just a fun idea I had. We should collect a list of interested parties <br>for an April tournament, best of 10 (permitting use of doubling cube)<br>per match, maybe with a $5 buy-in per person <br><br>(winner gets 90% of funds, 10% of money goes toward paying VPS bill)<br><br>Playing for nothing is also fine but $5 feels like enough to stake <br>that the games would be a little more interesting but nothing to get<br>upset over. <br><br>Best of 10 may sound like a lot but incorporating the doubling cube,<br>1 game becomes 2 becomes 4 becomes 8 potentially very quickly... playing<br>with a small number of games per "match" gives RNG an advantage over <br>skill, which is something to be avoided Reply to thread https://bbs.gikopoi.com/post/1742754978/2 2025-03-24T08:35:34+00:00 2025-03-24T08:35:34+00:00 that would be cool but i don't know how to play backgammon.
