Backgammon Tournaments

How do I enroll to my free tournaments?

First click the proper tab above the main table in the “Game Lobby”.
It would be either Swing or Sit & Go Tournament. You will see the “Enroll free!” pink button - allowing you to enroll for free to one of the tournaments.

Why did I not succeed in entering a <1600 tournament- what does it mean?

This is a rating limited tournament, which only allows players with a rating below 1600 points to participate.

For example: only if you have a rating level of 1599 or less, you will be able to enroll to such a tournament.

Please, also note the following: if you see a player, whose rating is 1600 or above, yet he or she somehow managed to get into the rating limited event, this means that he or she had a rating of less than 1600 at the time of enrollment.

What are stars? How do I gain them and what can I use them for?

Stars are used as the buy-ins for our stars freeroll tournaments.

You receive a star for each dollar you play for, regardless of whether you win or lose.

Stars are accumulated when playing backgammon for real money games only (meaning: there are no stars in fun money play mode).

Your accumulated stars are displayed at the right side of the screen, just below your rating.

I was in the middle of a tournament, got disconnected and could not reconnect. Does this mean I forfeit?

When disconnecting, you have 5 minutes to reconnect. Also, you cannot disconnect 3 times during a match. If this happens, you are automatically disqualified from the tournament regardless of the game board status.
