Saturday, November 28 @ 4PM EDT (8 PM GMT) we are having a FREE to enter Backgammon tournament and the winners will get 10 Tickets!
This Backgammon tournament is FREE to enter and play in -- it is open for all registered players - whether they have Tickets or not.
In the tourney, a Tournament Director (TD) will help instruct new players on how to properly set the game table, and also will go over tourney rules and answer any questions new players might have.
The winners of the tourney will get 10 Tickets.
You will have a chance to experience the thrill of tourney play, and an opportunity to learn, play and possibly win some extra Tickets.
Note: there is a limit of 40 players so if you want to join, please sign up early and be sure to be in the tourney room 10 minutes prior to start so we can go over what needs to be covered. YOU MUST BE PRESENT IN THE ROOM BY 10 MIN BEFORE 4 OR YOU WILL BE OUTED FROM THE TOURNAMENT!
All of the Tournament Directors hope to see some of you new players in these special tournaments.
The signup will be available several hours prior to the tournament - NOV 28, 2020
On iPhone & Android devices, our Backgammon app lists upcoming tournaments via Menu->Tournaments.
The maximum of 4 pending tournaments is listed on top in bold lettering.
Once the tourney is listed, you can select it, see its list of participants and, (on iPhone) on the bottom, use 'Sign Up'.
You can reserve your spot for the tournament earlier via the Desktop at GameColony.com.
You will find the 'More tournaments' button on the tournaments page directly above the 4 tournaments that are soonest to be played. Click the down arrow on that and you will see many more tournaments, pending and completed.
We hope to see you there!
Please help with the time of tournament, it's confusing

8PM GMT? What the heck is GMT? Most people know what East coast and West time is, but GMT?

Free Backgammon Tournament is Nov 28 at 4 PM New York time (4 PM Eastern Time).
If you live outside of the US, GMT means Greenwich Mean Time - you can think of it in a simplified way as London time.
GMT is the time measured on the Earth's zero degree line of longitude, or meridian. This runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, passing through the Old Royal Observatory in the London suburb of Greenwich.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
