FIBSTYTENTOURNY

This year we will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the creation of our league.
On this occasion I want to organize a great bracket tournament.

Qualification are simple : email me with FibstyTenTourny in the Subject and answer these 3 questions :
- What do you think about the league in general ?
- What are you enjoing here ? The good points ?
- What is missing or can be improve ?

The Tournament will be a double-elimination bracket, with each match played as best of Five 5Pts Matchs


The First time I connected to Fibs was in 1999. I was wondering how backgammon has to be played, and the first place I found was the right place ;-). I mean FIBS.

Then I began to enjoy that game and as all off you, I was trying to improve myself. What does that mean ? Reading Articles and playing serious game with good players.

Luckily a new kind of competition was about starting : The Gammon Quest.
We played here for a while until they suddenly stop managing tourneys. I remember, I felt very frustrated and decided to run my own competition and learn about PHP.

FLG was born ...

I spent here great moments and improve a little my game ;-) over this ten years with you. I hope this tournament will be a digest of the best of these ten great years and maybe the opportunity for old players to come back and for the new ones to discover it.

Third Exhibition Match planned

This will be the third time I organise this Backgammon exhibition match at Fibs, between the winner of the FibsLeaGammon Championship in 2009 and a great name of the backgammon World.

This year the 2 players will be :
- Martin Birkhahn (aka runnerup) our 2009 Champion at Fibs with 46 win/16 loss. (Details)
- And the actual number one on the backgammon giants list and the winner of the 2009 World Championship in Monte Carlo : Masayuki Mochizuki, "Mochy".

So mark your calendar.
Date : 23th of October
Time : 13h00 UTC - 15h00 german/french time (UTC+2), 22h00 in Japan (UTC+9) - 9h00 in Washington DC
Place : Fibs (Here some explanations to connect)

This match is played just for the fun and with live comment from Mochy and Martin.
We expect also many watchers who could whisper about the game.

I will try, as I did for the 2 last matches, to post the match, live comments and analyse.

New kind of tourney

Hello, I always try and enjoy new taste and with the Riviera & Nations Cup which is coming in July, with a new kind of system for their tourney. I would love to test it at Fibs.

It certainly more complicate online with money games, to schedule them all quickly. But I think we can give it a try and if you want to take part, just let me know by mail to register in this First FLG Cashplay Tournament

League Session number 47 is open

The new session 46 is open and will end on the 29th of July.

Session 46 is now closed. And play-offs are listed below.
----------- ---- ------------
runnerup vs dorbel
zyxtcba vs Schigolch

4 last in MasterB will go down in session 46

As I made a mistake for session 45 : sidie was relegated to Gold from Master league instead of slipshod who had exactly the same points and tie points. Making it almost automatic, I forgot the rules state that in such a case the direct match between the two players is decisive.

I put back sidie in Master and keep slipshod who had already played 2 matches, so 4 players will go down from MasterB in session 46.

League Session number 46 is open
