The Columbus Backgammon Club

The next monthly tournament for the Columbus Backgammon Club will be at 1:00PM on September 9th, 2012 in the upstairs bar of KDB (Kitchen Den Bar) at the Easton Town Center on the northeast side of Columbus. The address and website for KDB are:

165 Easton Town Center
Columbus, OH
(614) 428-7529

The bset way to find KDB is as follows: Once at Easton, you’ll find KDB in the main indoor mall near the AMC theater. The closest parking to the restaurant is the West Garage. From the West Garage, KDB will be on your left as you enter. The East Garage, also attached to the indoor mall, is also convenient but a bit longer of a walk. If you need assistance on the day of the tournament in finding the restaurant, feel free to call me at (614) 633-6229.

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.

Another modest turnout this month led the group to decide on a 6-person round robin as the format for this month’s monthly tournament. After all was said and done, Mary and Bob Hickey were at the top of the table, each with records of 4-1. Owing to Mary’s head-to-head victory over Bob in their final round match, she takes first place for the afternoon.

The 45 points earned with the win moves Mary into a solid second place in the year’s standing. 3 others, Dale Berlin, Chris Yep, and Mike Rezai, split 3rd place honors.

Thank you to all who participated this month. The next monthly tournament will be held on September 9th, 2012, rather than the 2nd due to the holiday weekend. See you there!

Through an oversight on my part, I neglected to post the resultsof the July Monthly Tournament here on the website, though they did go out the next day by e-mail:

By group consensus among those attending, the tournament this month took the form of a 6-person round-robin. After the dust settled, Dale Berlin emerged as the winner with a record of 4-1. Mary Hickey took home second place honors with a record of 3-2. The rest of the field finished in a 4-way split for 3rd place.

With his win this month, Dale takes over 3rd place in the overall standings for the year!

The June monthly tournament took place yesterday, Sunday June 3rd. A crowd of 10 players were in attendance, tying the high mark this year set in March. The attendees included two players who traveled all the way from Michigan to visit – Jim Slomkoski and Paul Berg. A Hickey won the tournament again this month, but this time it was Mary Hickey taking the top spot, and moving into 3rd place overall in the 2012 standings. Bob Hickey placed second, defeating Dale Berlin in the consolation final.
