Backgammon clubs around the world

Backgammon clubs can be found in any place where there are 2 or more avid players. Since it isn't like multiple-hand card games, in a backgammon club you need an even number of members.

If you wish to create a new backgammon club, you will need patience, at least two backgammon players and a lot of help.

First of all find a venue to play at. Sometimes you can find a spare room at your local pub, especially during the midweek.

Then find a name for your club, which should include the word backgammon and be catchy.

Having found a place to play you'll need some way of advertising the backgammon club. That can be done through flyers, eye-catching posters or putting an ad in your local newspaper. The Internet is also a good place to advertise your club. If you have the web space available, use your own web site to link it to as many other backgammon sites as you can.

Once the club is operational, make sure you have an arrangement that will keep the members interested and will keep them coming back week after week. Backgammon nights should be fun. Keep things sociable. Have an annual championship. Give out weekly points and "player of the month" awards. Enjoy yourself and make everyone comfortable with the club.

If you want to join an existing club, simply searching for "backgammon clubs" on the net will offer you hundreds of possibilities – one is surely in your vicinity.

Backgammon clubs will almost always run as a not for profit organization. All entry fees to tournaments and competitions are usually returned in full to the successful entrants to the events. The clubs charge a nominal table fee per player per night for regular members. The table fees are used by the club for the benefit of members, to purchase trophies, prizes and for periodic social functions.

The mission of a successful backgammon club is to promote the game of backgammon in a competitive, fun and social environment. Participation in the club tournaments and games is typically open to all players, subject to the regulations. A fine club should welcome beginners and social players and provide backgammon boards and dice for the use of all types of players in the venue on club nights. Beginners are always welcome and many regular club members are usually available to give informal lessons and advice.
