Club activities

Most clubs organize weekly or monthly events. Depending on the number of players that show up, a little tournament is organized or people just play some friendly matches. Participation is usually for free or at very low registration fees.

The club events are open to everybody, non-members too. An email or text message to the organizer to announce your participation is well appreciated, of course. Most players bring their own board, but you’re welcome without equipment too.

The Brugge club meets at irregular times, fixed in advance by the players themselves; contact Line for more information. Players in Gent meet weekly on Tuesday evening, while in Brussels, it’s on Wednesday evening. The Backgammon Club Leuven hosts the monthly Sunday afternoon tournaments. Yearly events organized by the clubs are the Gent Open (March/April) and the Leuven Open (November).

Joining BGFed.be

All backgammon clubs in Belgium are warmly invited to join the federation. For a club to become member of the federation costs 10 euro per player that the club wants to register. In return, players receive a rating, and the club and their players can participate in the activities of the federation, such as the 4 Cubes interclub competition, the Belgium Individual Championship and the Red Beaver League.

Perhaps you don’t feel like a club yet but just a group of friends playing backgammon from time to time? Excellent! That’s how all clubs started. Just write us, and we will help you take the next steps.
