2024 Australian
Backgammon Championships Monstered
The
2024 AUSTRALIAN BACKGAMMON CHAMPIONSHIPS were held in the River Room at Twin
Towns Conference and Function Centre, Coolangatta, Qld between the 8th and
10th of November.
Congratulations to Newcastle stalwart Mick (the Monster) Dyett on winning
his 3rd Australian Open, 13-2, against Sydney play Yalli Pleshet.
Along with the prize money, Mick picked up a new board suitably emblazoned
with the name of the tournament.
The championships comprised of the Open, Masters, Speedgammon and Doubles
tournaments along with Satellites and Sunday tournaments for those out of
the main draws but still masochistic enough to want to play another day :-)
