2010 State Championship

A big THANK YOU to everyone who made the 2010 New Mexico State Backgammon Championship such a great success! And an extra special thanks to Ed Bennet and all the volunteers who made it possible! We’ve gotten lots of kudos from all over the backgammon world. Including Gammon Village Magazine and rave reviews from Phil Simborg. One player posted on BGonline that “This is the classiest and highest quality event in the U.S.” We look forward to seeing all of you again in 2011!
