If you love the thrill of competition and enjoy playing backgammon for money, why not get involved in tournament backgammon? With online backgammon tournaments, you can win thousands of dollars in cash and prizes.

Tournament backgammon includes a series of short matches between the participants. Games usually start around three points a match and increase to five or seven point matches towards the end of the tournament. The low number of points in each match make the luck of the roll a very important factor in the outcome. This is an advantage for less skillful tournament backgammon players, as the players must rely on luck over skill in this type of setting.

Backgammon tournaments generally get their large prize pools from entry fees. These fees vary in range from as low as five dollars and as much as hundreds of dollars. Tournaments with larger entrance fees generally have much larger prize pools. Online backgammon tournaments have also been known to have prizes other than cash. These include all-expense-paid trips and sometimes even free entrance into live backgammon tournaments around the world!

Tournament backgammon can be found on many online backgammon websites. There are still other websites that are devoted purely to backgammon tournaments. You can also search for backgammon tournaments off the web - in casinos, backgammon clubs and more.

If you want to increase the fun and benefit of backgammon tenfold, participating in backgammon tournaments could be just the thing for you!
