A message from April and Michael

A big reason we host backgammon tournaments is to celebrate our wonderful community. You inspire us to create events that players find exciting and rewarding.

Right now, a lot of us are more isolated than we want to be. Until we can play backgammon in person again, we want to make online play easy and fun. Playing together is more than just a distraction from the craziness around us — it keeps us connected. 

We are continually grateful to you for your friendship and support. Our backgammon community is strong, and we can’t wait to see you both virtually and over the board!
