Speedgammon Grand Prix results 2020

Positions after the June tournament and tournament results to July

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SPEEDGAMMON GRAND PRIX IS NOW SUSPENDED FOR 2020

All dates from July 23rd to December 17th will now be occupied by individual Speedgammon tournaments

So the table below depicts final positions as at the suspension

Note: a 'D' next to a tournament score is a discard, i.e. a score which does not count towards the total because only a player's best six tournaments count.
And the finishing order depends on the following: (1) total points (after discards); (2) fewest tournaments entered; (3) highest percentage of matches won over the CBGP season; (4) results of meetings of tied players during the CBGP season; (5, where there are discards to be compared) the best performance in those events; (6) play-off (where necessary).
An '*' next to a points score indicates a match which has not yet been completed.
