Backgammon World Cup

It's a simple equation really: 

     Brendan and I love backgammon
+   my family loves backgammon
+   we were on vacation during the World Cup

Backgammon World Cup!!!!!




Brendan and I worked through the logistics one night. We will have 6 countries (people). The first round will be a round robin, with the top four winners going through. The semi-finals are next, leaving two countries to fight for fame, glory, and a rad "trophy" we bought on Camps Bay beach. 

Let me introduce you to the contenders:

Team Oman, because Oooo Man is he good at backgammon


Team Uzbekistan, or as the locals pronounce it: Uz-BECKY-stan


Team Malta, known to enjoy a single malta whiskey


Team India, lover of Indian-a Jones


Team Liechtenstein, and the Fraulein DD Von Liechtenstein


And Team (the Federated States of) Micronesia...because why not!?


There were many many matches over the three days of play and the tension grew thick...


And in the end, Liechtenstein was victorious!


Hopefully we don't have to wait four years for the rematch...
