Gent wins 4 Cubes 2019
With 5 victories out of 5 encounters, the team of Gent has convincingly conquered the 4 Cubes 2019. Runner-up was Leuven 2, who held the 4 Cubes for three consecutive years 2016-2018.
In total, six teams participated at the 2019 edition of Belgium’s backgammon inter-club competition in a single round-robin format. Their mutual results are summarized in the table below. Detailed rules and results are to be found in the Tournament book, compiled by tournament director Luc Palmans.

Rounds 4 and 5 took place on Sunday, October 27, in the beautiful surroundings of the Koninklijke Academie Union-Sandeman, home of the club of Gent.
Gent’s performance was a matter of skill, not luck. In the PR competition between Gent, Brugge and Leuven 2, they came out on top with a wide margin:

Thank you to all participants for their commitment and sportsmanship. We hope you enjoyed the competition and we look forward to the 2020 edition.
