Rated Match Policy

On 1st January 2018, the ANZBGF adopted its official results policy PDF, which is designed to establish a standard for the quality of results posted to this site.

The ANZBGF policy is supplemented by local policies, which give club managers the freedom to define local rules that work for the way their events are run.

The manager for Australian Championships data on this site is Simon Woodhead.

The local policy for Australian Championships is as follows:

The Australian Backgammon Championships is an annual event currently held on the Gold Coast, Queensland. All tournaments that are part of this event that meet the following criteria will be rated:

  • Minimum of 4 players
  • Minimum 5 point matches
  • Doubling cube and Crawford rule apply

Note: Beginners or novice events that do not employ the cube will not be rated.
