When it comes to playing backgammon there's no lack of competition and there is a wide range of options to get involved in the world of Tournament Backgammon. Probably the easiest way to find out where a competition is taking place is thru one of the internet backgammon sites. None the less, be warned: Tournament Backgammon has nothing to do with making decisions based on how the checkers on the board look. The word on the street is: "mathematics".

Naturally playing at this level can be quite intense and the enjoyment one experiences playing against members of one's family or friends may quickly disappear, especially when you start making decisions based purely on mathematical probabilities. You may find, however, that the intellectual challenge and strategy required to play Tournament Backgammon provides its own compensations. The combination of skill, the roll of the dice and competing against a truly worthy opponent can bring the game to a much higher level of satisfaction.

One last aspect of Tournament Backgammon that must be considered is: "playing for money". With the doubling cube providing the possibility of reaching 64 times the original wager, it's easy to see the potential of losing a lot of money very quickly (Sometimes, the worst thing that can happen to you in the beginning is that you win!). There is no denying that for many people playing for money is fun and they won't have it any other way, never the less, as they use to say on television show: "Hills Street Blues", "Be careful out there".
