The 2021 NEBC Club Championships will be decided TOMORROW, June 6th, in a rigorous Best-of-5 series of 9-point matches.\u00a0Whoever wins, the result will be one for the record\u00a0books. \u00a0Dougie’s first championship came in 1985, so a win here will set a record for longest stretch between\u00a0titles that only Bill Robertie could beat anytime soon. And Alex will look to\u00a0tie Bill’s long-held record of 6 Club Championships and extend his recent NEBC domination with his fourth title in six years.<\/p>\n
NEBC club members vie for the annual title by earnings playoff points in a series of ten monthly tournaments held during thew regular September-May season. The winner of the points race earns a bye in the playoff bracket of seven players, who play Best-of-3 contests of 9-point matches to reach the finals.<\/p>\n
The 2021 Finals will be live-streamed on the NEBC YouTube channel<\/a> with commentary by Matt Reklaitis and bitter playoff also-rans Marty Storer, Albert Steg, and perhaps a few others. We also invite spectators to gather on the NEBC Discord server<\/a> to watch the action together and heckle away! To watch the action directly on Backgammon Galaxy<\/a>, search for usernames ‘Z’ and ‘dougie’ using the galaxy filter on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The 2021 NEBC Club Championships will be decided TOMORROW, June 6th, in a rigorous Best-of-5 series of 9-point matches.\u00a0Whoever wins, the result will be one for the record\u00a0books. \u00a0Dougie’s first championship came in 1985, so a win here will set a record for longest stretch between\u00a0titles that only Bill Robertie could beat anytime soon.
