Supernatural Backgammon Weekend
Play65 first Supernatural Weekend on the 19th-20th September was a huge success! 60 backgammon pros attended the opening event, the Pro Gammon, increasing the total prize from €1000 to €1200, and 100 played the following Exciting 750 tournament, both held on Saturday. Similar scaled tournaments held on the following day, with a 6-hours-long marathon from 17:00 until 23:00 PM.
Pro Gammon Tournament
The Pro Gammon tournament was the first time Play65 has held a 5-point match that was sequenced by a 7-point final. Not surprisingly, many players have agreed to this challenge and instead of the guaranteed €1000 prize, an amount of €1200 was shared by the top competitors. The 1st prize was won by a Japanese pro nicknamed fairytails who bested a German player who is known by the username of muuuuus.
Play65 Plans for the Near Future
The Supernatural Weekend is planned to return next weekend at the same times and same formats but with bigger prizes; the next Supernatural Weekend will be closed with a €3000 backgammon tournament and hopefully with more attendants that would contribute to the prize pool as well. Special midweek backgammon tournaments are also expected to take place soon.
