format


TTTs are usually limited 
to 12 players.



You play a

1 game match
against all the other players in the TTT.


A straight win scores you 1 point,
a gammon scores you 2 points,
a backgammon scores you 3 points.
When you lose you score ½ a point -
So it's never pointless!

The way to win ?
PLAY FOR GAMMONS !!!


The player with the highest 
number of points wins the Tourno.


If we have 2 or more players tie
for 1st place we go to a Final-Play-off.
 Same rules. This usually gives us a winner.
If not, winners play until there is.


12 players means 66 games are to be played 
and usually takes no more than 2 hours.


If you cannot be online for that duration
- please DO NOT register - 
You will only ruin the TTT for the other players.


Sometimes we have 20 player TTTs.


For these we do 2 x 10 player Pre-TTTs.


Then the top three players from each go into
 a Tric Trac Tourno Final-Play-off.


If we have players on equal points we decide who goes into the Final-Play-off by backgammons won, then gammons won, then straight wins, 
then by games between them won.


In the unlikely event that this is still a draw,
we have a Mini-Play-off.


The Final Play-off itself must have one clear winner and if we have a draw for 1st place we go to a Final-Final-Play-off. 


There has never yet been a 20 player
Final-Final-Final-Play-off !


20 player TTTs take about 3 hours.
