Backgammon Masters online game operator has applied for a Guinness Gamer World Record in farthest backgammon dice toss!

Just a short recaps, BackgammonMasters.com, the World Backgammon Network, is the place to find a revolutionary approach to backgammon online (and of course, let’s not forget poker).

The purpose of the event to announce and promote Backgammon Masters Backgammon Freeroll tournaments held every Tuesday and Friday. The plan is to toss 2 backgammon dice out of a helicopter 200-300 ft. up in the sky onto a 1 acre-sized gigantic backgammon board-shaped field in a HUGE backgammon tournament, and huge here refers to the size of the playing field and dice, checkers and the event itself.

World Cyber Games 2007 - Singapore National Finals

Posted by miuki as Tournaments

The World Cyber Games (WCG) has been an event that I try at best to take note of every year. And this year (2007), what I can say is, the publicity created really puts the last couple of years to shame (congrats organizers).

Before the actual event itself, probably everyone (gamer or non-gamer) knows about the upcoming championship. And it has seriously put the gaming scene in Singapore a step higher then before.

Though still not perfect (but nothing ever is), it’s definitely defining the acceptance we Singaporeans have towards gaming in general. Actual sports might not be the “Singapore thing” but “Cyber Sports” we most definitely have the talents (and it is so not outsourced, we are actually talking about local talent).

Sadly, though taking note of the happenings within the gaming community, I am most definitely not within the ones that pursue a competitive approach towards it.

It’s an age issue, I guess?
