FiBS Backgammon Tournament Online

All about Fibs

	FIBS is the First Internet Backgammon Server, it allows Internet users to play backgammon in real-time against real people (and even some bots). There are players of every conceivable ability logging onto FIBS, from absolute beginners to serious backgammon champion contenders. It is the earliest online backgammon community. Created by Andreas (marvin) Schneider, FIBS has been in operation since July 19, 1992.
	Fibsboard started out as a forum for the members and regular users of the First Internet Backgammon Server (F.I.B.S.). Webrunner maintains this site since november 2002. You will find there many information about Fibs and his community life.
	Here is for me the best interface to use to play at Fibs. JavaFIBS 2001 v1.009 (1.28 MB) is compatible with Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris and others. You will need Java 1.3+ installed on your computer to be able to use it. Instructions in how to install and use JavaFIBS 2001 is included in the manual in the archive. A great job done by Peter Nevalainen who has also created the SweBoard. With the same interface, you can play there Bräde, which is a swedish varation of backgammon.
	What fun it is to play backgammon on FIBS. People from every corner of the globe, from beginners to world class players, available for simple games and chatter or for serious high level matches. But every once in a while one wishes that there was something else, something more competitive than just strings of non-related matches... This is where TourneyBot tries to help. TourneyBot is an automated tourney manager. It is a non-playing bot that can organize and manage tourneys. It advertises scheduled tourneys via shouts, registers players, draws the match-ups, records the score and declares winners.

Other Online Tourneys

	The David Escoffery's FIBS tournaments is a serious place if you want to enter a tournament for money. OBJECTIVE: To have fun in a large-draw, non-commercial, low entry fee tournament among some of the nicest people on the net, including some of the best backgammon players on the Internet. I have still never played there but all the people that I met and talked with, about it, have only made praises
	Big events and all kind of tourneys ar available at Gammonzone. Matches are to be played generaly at Club Games, Yahoo, Pogo, TrueMoneyGames, World Gaming Center or FIBS. Scheduling is very short and it can be difficult to plan your matches, if you have not enough free time, as it is a worldwide tournament and that every player may not be able to play at their most convenient time.
	Another tourney I run for GoL members. It is a Swiss random pairment, where players are dropped by the end, as soon as they loose their third match. The winner will be the last player with less than 3 loss.
	It is a pyramid shaped structured ladder tournament where you play against the other players and move up the pyramid as you win matches. When you move into the top levels of the pyramid you will be awarded session points for your wins and in accumulating points you can win the FIBS-O-NACCI session.

Improve your Game

	GammOnU is an online backgammon center and magazine, and was established by the backgammon expert Kit Woolsey in 1999, in order to bring together and generate a professional community of backgammon players.Until 2006 readers could use the Web only by a subscription payment, but today, with the cooperation of Play65, this Website is open for all, so users and backgammon players can enjoy and use it with no fee.GammOnLine gives some good advices, tips and conceptual ideas about backgammon. It provides a great variety of information which will help every user to play backgammon; beginners, intermediates and advanced players.Generally, most of the matters in GammOnLine are accessible for all the users, but despite this, there are some issues that the online backgammon magazine provides only for subscribers, for example: the online backgammon matches- users can watch the matches and read the detailed analysis, the subscribers can participate by a vote. (The website has been renamed from GammOnLine to GammonU after a bad story with play65/GE)
bgonline.org	Stick's forum is also a great place to discuss about the game with great players. And it's free.
