Hello everybody,
Recently, I’ve been approached by a number of players with requests to organize a monthly tournament in Brussels.
The Black Beards are now launching BBBB-Sports Monthly as we’ve found a fabulous, accessible and bucolic place to play, with a terrace open in fine weather.
Sunday December 8, 2024 will be our kick-off tournament at B.SPORTS! Address: 14 rue de la Basilique, Sint Agatha Berchem.
Reserve your place now so that we can book the right room. You can send me an e-mail at chantal.lensen@skynet.be.
Venue
The B.SPORTS club will welcome us once a month. This sports complex formerly belonged to the National Bank of Belgium and is located in Brussels near the ring and the highway exit from Oostende. The kitchen offers a full range of catering options at all times.
- by bar: B.SPORTS is located at 14 rue de la Basilique, Sint Agatha Berchem. You can easily park your car.
- It’s also easy to reach by public transport: Tram 9, streetcar 55, bus 20, Berchem Ste Agathe station, etc.
Format and schedule
We’ll play 5 rounds of 7 points. Pairings will be based on the Swiss system.
- From 9 a.m.: Welcome. The bar will be open at 8.30 a.m., so you can enjoy a coffee as soon as you arrive.
- Round 1: 10am
- Round 2: 11:45 a.m.
- Round 3: 1:30pm
- Round 4: 3:15pm
- Round 5: 5:00 pm
Registration
Reservations are mandatory: please send an e-mail to chantal.lensen@skynet.be.
Price for the day: €10 to be paid on site (+ membership fee for the Belgian Backgammon Federation for non-members).
In 2025, we’ll be playing on the first Sunday of every month. I’ll send out invitations the month before.
I hope to see many of you there.
Kind regards
— Chantal
