By Karsten Bredahl, Team Play65 Captain

The champions of The Danish Backgammon Team Tournament 2009-10, which finished in March, became (as most players are aware of) the very strong team from the Mama Boyz Club sponsored by Play65: Team Play65.

Team Play65 started the season with 2 defeats (only 2 victories of 8 possible matches) but from round 3 their name were written all over the Team Tournament and after 88 matches to 17 points they ended up with 54 victories and winner of the title as Danish Champions. None of the players on the team had a negativ score, and the topscore of the team (capt. Karsten Bredahl) also became the topscorer of the entire elitedivision with 16 wins (in 21 matches) which was 3 wins more than Mik Larsen, who ended up on 2nd place with 13 wins (in 22 matches).

But last season is long gone by now and during the Summer Lars Chr. Bentzon (aka Busti) made Denmark proud by becoming the 5th Danish World Champion.

Furthermore the next season of team backgammon begins in only 4 weeks so who can remember what happened 6 months ago?!

Now is the time to forget about vacations, work and families. Backgammon is all that matters from now on. The teams in the Danish Team Tournament can look forward to thousands of exiting 17-pointers during the next 6 month! Positions will arise and debates will take place in the Danish forum…

528 of these matches will take place in the elitedivision and the defending champions from Team Play65 will do whatever is in their power to win the title again and make Play65 proud but they are up against the strongest players in the world so it is going to be a tough call and very exciting.
