Backgammon World Record Set To Be Broken

Backgammon Masters has invited the Guiness World Records Gamer Edition to witness what should be the world’s farthest Backgammon dice roll. The record-breaking event will take place during a Backgammon tournament sponsored by Backgammon Masters which features two of the world’s greatest Backgammon players facing off on a giant, 1-acre Backgammon board. The tournament is designed to promote Backgammon Masters’ Backgammon Freeroll Tournaments, held online every Tuesday and Friday at http://www.backgammonmasters.com, and promises to be an unforgettable event.

Two renowned backgammon champs will face off from helicopters flying 200-300 feet above the 1-acre field Backgammon board. The players will roll the dice from the helicopters, dropping them onto the field below. The dice, which were specially designed for the event, are composed of an inflatable material that protects them from the world-record-breaking falls. Once the dice have been tossed, the competitors will then communicate via walkie-talkie to their field staff below, who will move the 3-foot diameter checker pieces according to their wishes.

The winner of the tournament will get to keep the custom-made dice, valued at 1,000 Euros. The proceeds generated by the tickets sold to the tournament will be donated to charity.
