First off, let me say that the BG Tournament at Sea is first and foremost a BG vacation which happens to be with people who enjoy the game of Backgammon with tournaments onboard. The tourney atmosphere will be relaxed and set up in such a way so that people have a great time while enjoying a fantastic vacation and maybe win some prizes and cash to boot ! The schedule of tournaments will be established once the set amount of people is established closer to the departure date. This vacation was designed as a way to share a great vacation at group rates with people who have Backgammon in common and who have become friends online or in real life thru the game of Backgammon. It's also for people who want to finally meet their online BG friends and enjoy a great vacation at the same time at a preferential rate. World Champ BG Lextures ! We will have BG lectures on playing techniques given by a well-know World Champ ! Details of this will be forthcoming in the next weeks ! Unlike other BG tournaments, there is no charge to enter the tournaments. Any profits generated from the commissions derived from the people attending will be given back in the form of prizes onboard the ship. There will be prizes for individual tournaments during the week as well as a Grand Prize to be determined based on amount of people attending. The Grand Cash Prize will be based on the following: 20 Passengers $ 1000. 50 Passengers $ 2500. 40 Passengers $ 2000. 60 Passengers $ 3000. Over 60 Passengers the Prize will be $ 5000 See full list of prizes below. The play schedule will be set up at the beginning of the week and assignments will be posted on a designated bulletin board. Players will have time limits in which to play assigned matches with a set tourney every day which they can play at the time of their choice within the established deadline. This allows for you to enjoy your vacation and still play backgammon as well. In addition to cumulative match wins which count towards admission in the Finale tourney, individual tournaments such as the following will occur:
Final schedule of events will be set up based on the number of participants and given to everyone upon embarkation.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE Please be advised that all tournaments and gift remissions will only be awarded based on the participation of at LEAST 25 PEOPLE. The cruise departure will take place regardless of the amount of players however there needs to be at least 25 people to play Backgammon in order to have the tournaments and prizes awarded. In the event that the numbers should fall below 25 participants, the cruise vacation will still take place, but there will not be any major tournament or prizes. So get your friends to sign on today !
CRUISE BACKGAMMON HOST
If you belong to a Backgammon club in your city or you are a tournament director for a ladder or have many friends online or in real life who play Backgammon and you would love to get your group together for special tournaments for your group , you might want to apply to be a BG host onboard. This is how the program works: You request to be registered as a BG host to me by writing to francin@hotmail.com and I will set up an account for your club or association to track the people you refer within your group on the cruise. What this entails: If you can accomplish the following, under no obligation, I will give you a FREE PASSAGE on this cruise to handle your club or association and you can be part of the TD process onboard ! What is required of you: You need to promote the cruise to your Backgammon club or circle of friends and relatives in order to get 16 people to form your group. This can include wives or husbands of the Backgammon players as well. Only the first two people in a cabin are counted towards the allotment. This means if 3 people share a cabin only the first two will count towards the 16 required participation. So in fact all you need are 8 people that play Backgammon to come with their friend or mate and you SAIL FREE !! * * This space will be on a share basis with someone of the same sex traveling on the cruise . If you are traveling with a companion, a preferred rate will be given to that person. The reason for the host program is to have as many as possible participate in order for the tournaments onboard to take place and to provide a real fun event. Please know that this cruise is non-profit as I am giving a rebate on the cruise rate and whatever commission are derived go back as prizes. I really want a fun vacation getting to meet my online friends in real life. I HAVE PLANNED THIS EVENT TO ALLOW EVERYONE TO HAVE A SUPER VACATION BUT YOUR PARTICIPATION IS WHAT WILL MAKE IT A SUCCESS !! YOUR ASSISTANCE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED SO TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS !
