Club WebTV Prize backgammon, all variations (Crowded Backgammon - show rules)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I would like to announce a new Club WebTV fellowship only, prize tournament.

This tournament contains all 5 backgammon variations. The winner of each variation, will have one month added to their membership. The person who gets the most S-B points, added up in all the variations gets an additional 6 bonus months added to their membership, and the 2nd place person will get an additional bonus month added.

You do not need to sign up for all the variations to win the bonuses, but of course, the more you enter, the better your chances.

ALL ties will be broken. In the cases where brainking doesn't create a tie-breaker, the tied players will be required to create a "2 win match" to break the tie.
For the bonus months, if there is a tie in S-B points, the person who joined the most variations will be the winner. If that is a tie also, I will come up with some other method of breaking the tie. (Perhaps I will send Fencer a number between 1 and 100 in a message, and have the tied people guess the number, and whoever is closest, wins.)

I know anti-backgammon isn't the most popular game in the world, but this tournament will depend on at least 4 people signing up for it. If not enough people sign up for that variation, the people that DO will receive bonus points to be added to their final S-B score, so don't let that happen! Sign up for Anti-backgammon, also!! (That bonus number will be determined closer to the sign up date, if not enough are joining it)

I wanted to try a different type of prize tournament. So this is kind of an experiment. There may be flaws, and situations that I didn't think of. Whatever they are, will be dealt with before another tournament of this type is created..

So, when you get your invitation, I hope you will join as many of the variations as you can!

I will be participating, too, and any months that I win, will be given to someone else. I will determine some way, at that time, to decide who gets it. (Doubtful, that I will win though! lol)

HAVE FUN!
