World Series Of Backgammon Launches Third Season

The World Series Of Backgammon will launch its third season of events on Tuesday from the Palm Beach Casino in Cannes while also unveiling a new branded online platform at WorldSeriesOfBackgammon.com. The six-day Cannes tournament is expected to attract competitors from around the world and will be followed by an event in Prague from September 16 to 20 and one for London from October 20 to 26. The English capital will then host the grand finale from the Loose Cannon Poker Club later in the year with players competing for up to €320,000. Players accrue points by winning matches at one of the three land-based events, which contribute to their overall standing. Those holding the most points at the end of the trio will be invited to participate in the semi-finals, which will take place online. Competitors that make it through these will then be rewarded with a seat to the finals valued at €10,000. Players can also win seats online exclusively at WorldSeriesOfBackgammon.com while watching live coverage of key matches. The World Series Of Backgammon brand is now licensed exclusively to On A Roll Limited. Its Managing Director, Andy Bell, was the originator of The World Series Of Backgammon concept three years ago and revealed that the brand’s online platform would go live from Friday. “We’ve come a long way to be where we are at the start of this exciting tour,” said Bell. “Building on a number of valuable new partnerships, the new online platform will be home to potentially thousands of backgammon players who look for regular match and tournament play. The mix of online and live events alongside the television deals we have in place with the likes of Eurosport and ESPN International make this a tantalising combination.”
