Tournament Rules

The Atlanta Northside Backgammon Club is an affiliated club of the United States Backgammon Federation.  Click here for the USBGF Official Rules for tournament play.  Local rules may at any time supersede USBGF rules.  Instead of a two minute per point timebank, our seven point championship bracket matches use 12 minutes as a time bank and a 12 second delay.  Consolation round brackets use an eight minute time bank and 12 second delay.  Penalty points assessed to players arriving late for the tourney or in a later round match are more relaxed and taken in consideration on a case by case basis.  The club also adheres to the USBGF Standards of Ethical Practice which can be found by clicking here.
