INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLAY

• All matches are played on Backgammon Studio Heroes.
• If there is a problem with your platform (i.e. program freezes, kicks you out, etc.) and you are unable to resume, contact the Director immediately.
• All communications to and from the Director should be via WhatsApp (match wins, problems, etc.). A Group WhatsApp will be created prior to the tournament.
• All payments will be made through Venmo (payments must be made prior to tournament start), #Americanjam or 3o3-356-3679.
• Registration closes 15 minutes prior to tournament start for weekly and 30 minutes prior to tournament start for monthly.
• Matches (the bracket) will be posted at tournament start time. Tournament brackets can be viewed in real-time using Challonge.com.  The bracket link will be provided via WhatsApp and posted on this page.
• Once the bracket is posted, contact your opponent DIRECTLY (phone or text). The number can be retrieved from the newly created Group in the WhatsApp application (select group names, select your opponent).
• Please DO NOT use the main Group WhatsApp for communication with your opponent, as there is way too much chatter. It should ONLY be used for communication with the Director.
• Once you’ve logged in to Backgammon Studio Heroes (Server 3), enter the Denver club private room.  To do this select “Main” (left side above players names), followed by “External tournaments“.  Scroll down and select “Denver Backgammon LEAGUE” and select “Yes” to confirm.
• Either player listed on the bracket may invite the other player on Backgammon Studio Heroes (Server 3).
• Set the match length.
• Click “Challenge” to begin.
• The WINNER is responsible for reporting the match result, again using the main Group WhatsApp (3o3-356-3679). Once reported, your new match will be posted shortly thereafter. The match can begin once both players are available.
• All winners will be paid via Venmo immediately following the completion of the tournament.
