Backgammon ClubsBackgammon clubs are the place to play backgammon face-to-face, over the board. Before internet backgammon, backgammon clubs used to be the only place where backgammon enthusiasts could gather, play the game, discuss rules and tactics. In backgammon clubs, backgammon rookies learned how to play the game from the experienced and players of all skill level could take part in backgammon tournaments. There are backgammon clubs all over the world. Joining some of them is free while others take membership fees. Backgammon clubs usually host tournaments, in which the winner collects most or all of the participants' entry fees plus the side pool.

Forming a Backgammon ClubIf you can't find a backgammon club in your nearby area, and you've got the passion and patience (and at least initial dough), you can form a backgammon club. For starters, you can check local bars or clubs, which might agree to dedicate a private room to weekly backgammon meetings.
After finding a roof over your newly formed backgammon club, your next mission would be to seek potential club members. Message boards and social networks on the internet are great ways to publicize your backgammon clubs, on top of more traditional publicity tools such as local newspaper ads, brochures, etc. Once sufficient number of people is aware of your backgammon club, it would be a good time to hold a grand opening, which will include free first drinks or free entrance for newbie players. Though it won't be a profitable event, it can be a great exposure as well as an opportunity develop an initial base of players. It may take several months until your backgammon club would prove itself as a worthwhile investment, but with proper management, passion for running a backgammon club and tons of passion, it might be a great success!
