Instructions

    Live Backgammon Tournaments

  1. Step 1

    Decide how far to travel. Backgammon tournaments take place in many places such as Las Vegas, Chicago and Monte Carlo. Choose a location that best fits your needs and resources.

  2. Step 2

    Book a hotel room. Hotels and resorts are a primary location for backgammon tournaments and require a prior reservation. Make your plans early since room availability will be limited and popular tournaments fill up quickly.

  3. Step 3

    Register at the designated time. Many tournaments require an entry fee and have specific requirements for how to pay the fee. Personal checks are often not accepted and currency should be that of the country where the tournament is held.

  4. Online Backgammon Tournaments

  5. Step 1

    Choose a website that best suits your needs, such as MisterGammon. Gaming websites offer backgammon tournaments for both casual and serious players. Base your decision on factors such as how quickly you will begin to play and the cost of entering.

  6. Step 2

    Download the required program. Websites use their own specific software for online games, which require installation on your computer before you begin. When choosing the file location, be sure to pick a destination that will be easy to find later, such as the desktop.

  7. Step 3

    Create a new player account. If you wish to participate in tournaments that require an entry fee, you must also transfer funds. Typically, sites accept a credit card, bank transfer or Western Union. Neteller, an online payment service, is another available option.

  8. Step 4

    Pick a tournament and register. Sit and Go Tournaments begin as soon as the predetermined number of players join while Event Tournaments start on a specific date and time. Choose a backgammon tournament based on your personal wants and needs.
