North Island Open Backgammon Tournament 2024

Backgammon tournament. All players (any level welcome).

This is the 4th year that North Island Champs have been hosted in Raglan.

We pride ourselves on a relaxed tournament which provides for the most competitive/experienced players and those learners and social players.

Set in the beautiful seaside town of Raglan, everything is handy to the venue for a seaside walk, dining or staying.
Ticket is good for both days.

Two days of full-on Backgammon. Standard Swiss Format. Everyone is guaranteed to play 5- seven point matches. The pairings are random in the first match. Players are not eliminated if they lose the first match. No player meets the same opponent twice .Successive rounds match Players with scores as similar to each other as possible. By the 3rd Match Experts are playing Experts, average are playing average and novices are playing novices.

Sept 22nd - Top sixteen (16) players from the Swiss Format will play Knockout matches to determine 1st 2nd 3rd places

Don't delay, we expect this BG event to sell out. Only 60 tickets available.

Good prizes for the winners of the top 16 and also for the plate. We'd love to see you!

Note that the Raglan Backgammon Club play on the Friday before so if you fancy some warmup social games you would be made very welcome.
