Milwaukee Backgammon Club: Tournament

Event time: 6:30pm, 1st, 3rd & 5th Wednesday, every month

Our tournament format includes a Main Flight, plus a Consolation Flight for Players who lose their first-round matches, guaranteeing at least two 5-point matches for everyone who enters. Expect the tournament to last til 10pm (at least for the finalists).

Entry fee: $6, with $5 awarded to the Main Flight winner (50%) and runner-up (25%) and Consolation Flight winner (25%), and $1 reserved for club expenses.

But even if you don't enter or you're not a winner, or you have to wait awhile for your next tournament opponent, stick around for the side games and chouettes.

We play at 6:30pm every Wednesday at Rounding Third — tournaments the 1st, 3rd and 5th Wednesday; open play (heads-up games, multi-player chouettes, a mini-tourney and beginner lessons) the 2nd and 4th Wednesday.

Rounding Third offers ample parking along the west side of the building, at the curb and across the street. Here's their menu: http://www.roundingthirdbarandgrill.com/#!menus

We've reserved the back room. Check in with the bartender to find us.
