The club is based upon friendly competition with the main emphasis

There are 20 round robin Club Championship tournament nights per year along with
3 knock out tournament nights and a Presentation night (link to dates below).
The Newcastle Open Backgammon Tournament for 2020 and 2021 was held online as "The Newy". This tournament is being run as a double elimination style tournament, different to the normal round robin qualifiers into an 8 person KO final. Results can be found through this link. Since the 2022 edition it has returned to be run live at Club Charlestown on the second Sunday in September.
