We’ve got news on upcoming tournaments, local, regional, and national!
To begin with, the first monthly tournament of the Columbus Backgammon Club in 2012 is just 2 weeks away! at 1:00PM on March 4th, 2012 at the Max & Erma’s restaurant in Reynoldsburg. Registration starts at 12:30PM, and you are encouraged to come out early to have lunch and support the restaurant. More information about the tournament format can be found at our website, http://www.columbusbg.org.
If possible, please RSVP to jason@columbusbg.org if you intend to be there. This is not a pre-registration, but rather a way to get a rough count of the expected number of people as a courtesy to our host.
