2025 North Island Backgammon Championship

Backgammon tournament. All players (any level welcome).

This is the 5th year that North Island Champs have been hosted in Raglan.

We pride ourselves on a relaxed tournament which provides for the most competitive/experienced players and those learners and social players.

Set in the beautiful seaside town of Raglan, everything is handy to the venue for a seaside walk, dining or staying.
Ticket is good for all days.

Standard Swiss Format. Everyone is guaranteed to play 5- seven point matches. The pairings are random in the first match. Players are not eliminated if they lose the first match. No player meets the same opponent twice .Successive rounds match Players with scores as similar to each other as possible. By the 3rd Match Experts are playing Experts, average are playing average and novices are playing novices.
Sept 26th - Doubles - something new, play starts at 3pm.
Sept 27th - Swiss Format
Sept 28th - Top sixteen (16) players from the Swiss Format will play Knockout matches to determine 1st 2nd 3rd places

Don't delay, we expect this BG event to sell out. Only 64 tickets available.

Good prizes for the winners of the top 16 and also for the plate. We'd love to see you!
