2024 AUSTRALIAN OPEN BACKGAMMON CHAMPIONSHIPS

The website for the 2024 Australian Backgammon Championships on 8-10 November is now live:  https://bglog.org/2024-bg-champs.html

Notable changes from last year:

- Open format has evolved to a double elimination with progressive consolation - you can lose in the round of 16 and still win the

tournament. Rebuys really hurt the scheduling last year, so this year there will be no rebuys.

- Andy Liepins has kindly agreed to run a BMAB tournament on Friday for a maximum of 12 players.

- Jackpots have been added for players knocked out of the Open who don't want to enter the Masters or Speedgammon.

- Details of the accommodation deal are on the website - 10% discount for players attending.
