Speedgammon Grand Prix 2021
Tournament #n of 8,
Thursday, Xxxxxx nnth,
ONLINE at 7.15pm at the Heroes site.
The details:
This is a clock event which is not for the faint hearted! Matches are to 5 points, and the scary bit is the amount of time allowed. Each player gets an allowance of 2 minutes per 5-point match, with delays at just 7 seconds. If you run out of time, you have lost the match!
Entry is £10, and at least 80% will be distributed as prizes, while the remainder is split between the Speedgammon Grand Prix prize fund and an admin fee.
The format of the tournament is in the process of being devised.

Furthest progression side pools will be available at £10 and £20, which will be won outright or shared on the night.
