Ok, Joan says I'm getting too wordy in these write-ups, so this will be quick. We celebrated One Year! Hooray!



The BGBB home page is chock full of interesting stuff, and it's entertaining just to look at, too. The Brownie Point race is officially on, and the standings list is maintained there. A game from last month's final, annotated by Kit Woolsey, is also there.

Announcements
(Contributions happily accepted)

None this month. I'd like to remind folks who are looking for a ride to next month's tourney to utilize the ba-backgammon newsgroup. Details on posting to the newsgroup available on the home page, or see last month's write-up.



BGBB folks gobbled up several mentions in the recent Istanbul, Turkey super tourney. Congrats to Nick Ballard, who was a semifinalist in the Consolation round, to Odis Chenault, who won the Last Chance, and to Elliott Winslow, finalist in one of the Jackpots. Kit Woolsey returned from the Turnberry Isle Doubles Tourney, where he placed 2nd with Donald Kahn. Nick Ballard placed 3rd/4th with partner Harvey Huie.
