Nackgammon Grand Prix past results

After a couple of pilot events in 2009, the Nackgammon Grand Prix was inaugurated in 2010 before its final year in 2012, at which point it was discontinued owing to a lack of interest.

Nackgammon Grand Prix results 2012

Final positions

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 three tournaments count.
And the finishing order depends on the following: (1) total points (after discards); (2) fewest tournaments entered; (3) results of matches between tied players during the NGP season; (4) highest percentage of matches won during the NGP season; (5, where there are events to be discarded) 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.
