After almost 15 years and at least as many tournaments, there are many exciting and funny stories about the Turkish Delicatessen Backgammon Tournament and the legendary challenge cup with only previous winners carved into it.
The Turkish Delicatessen Backgammon Tournament - Birlikte 2024 Cup is now being held to mark the Birlikte Commemoration & Cultural Festival.

In addition to fame and honor, the winners will once again receive trophies and small prizes.

We are happy to receive a small donation (approx. 5 €) as a participation fee.

Pre-registration by e-mail at tavla@sueperdisko.de is recommended, but not necessary!

Start from 12:00

Preliminary round until approx. 15:30

It isNOT necessary to arrive on time! Registration and participation in the preliminary round is possible until approx. 15:00. However, late participation reduces the chances of reaching the final, as there is less time to collect points. Details in the rules.

IMPORTANT!!! READ!!!

Please bring your own boards if you have the possibility. We have a variety of boards, but more is always better. Thank you :)

THE RULES:

We will again play an all vs all tournament system. All players will receive five chips each upon registration in exchange for a donation.

Preliminary round:

The aim is to collect/win as many chips as possible by the end of the preliminary round. You win a chip when you win a game:

Game:

A game consists of one to three games in the preliminary round. If you win a game, you receive one point. If you win a game without your opponent throwing out a checker, you receive two points. We call this Mars. Whoever reaches two points first wins the game and receives a chip from their opponent.

You choose your opponents yourself. It is also possible to play against each other several times. The preliminary round ends at approx. 15:30. The eight players with the most chips will advance to the final round.

Final round (from 16:00):

The final round will be played in a knockout system - quarter final, semi-final, final & small final (third place match). Pairings are based on the number of chips: Most chips against fewest chips, second most chips against second fewest chips etc....

The final round begins after a short break at around 16:00. The final usually takes place two hours after the start of the final round.

Quarter-final and semi-final matches are played on three points. The final and small final are played over five points.

Winner: inside honor:

The trophy and prize-giving ceremony will take place directly after the finals on the cream/stage! Approx. 18:00!

General rules!!!

Free stacking is allowed. The most important rule is - there are no rules or limitations, only basics. For all other questions about rules etc. please contact tournament management.

See you Sunday at café istanbul!
