Spirit of the Event

A core principle of this tournament is sportsmanship. Organizers and players are kindly asked to respect the spirit of the game, to show fairness toward opponents, spectators, and of course, the game itself.

Please mention in your registration message if you can bring your own backgammon set. This will help us organize the number of playing tables properly. We look forward with excitement to welcoming you to the 3rd Edition of the “Double Six” Tournament!

Note on “Chibiț”
“Chibiț” refers to the spectators or commentators around a backgammon game, known for their constant remarks and sometimes unsolicited advice to the players. While often outside observers, they are part of the charm and tradition of the game. Typically, they are also great pizza eaters and soda drinkers—fueling their endless stream of commentary!
