Given the current pandemic situation, having the Leuven Monthly games doesn’t seem practical. As a result, we decided to cancel the remaining games in 2020.
Hopefully, everything gets better soon, and we can get together for the games again. Until then, take care and stay safe.
Based on the current state of coronavirus, we’ve decided to resume Leuven Monthly after Summer. The first game will be on Sunday, 27th of September, at 13:45.
Looking forward to seeing you again. Stay safe.
2020-09-22 UPDATE: Unfortunately, this plan didn’t work. The remaining Leuven Monthly games of 2020 are cancelled.
While our in-person events are on hold because of the Coronavirus pandemic, we’ve not forgotten about our future events: the 12th Leuven Open is scheduled for 8th of November, in our usual venue, Abdijmolen.
More information and registration will be available soon.
Recent update from BGFed:
Due to the measures to limit the propagation of the COVID-19 virus, the following live backgammon activities are postponed or cancelled:
As soon as we have more information about the meeting possibilities, the BIC competition will be rescheduled. By now, our expectation is to postpone all matches by +/- 3 months (for ex. the D2 qualifying round-robin to be finished in June will be rescheduled till September). Online matches still valid for the rating list (see earlier post).
Take care of yourself and those around you.
Since we can’t get together to play backgammon these days because of the coronavirus pandemic, BGFed has decided to accept online matches that meet certain criteria in the official ratings.
More information about the conditions and the way you can submit the results is available on BGFed.
Because of the recent measures by the Belgian federal government to limit the propagation of the coronavirus, all backgammon tournaments and events from backgammon Club Leuven and other clubs in Belgium are cancelled up to and including Friday, April 3, 2020.
We will keep you posted when the events will be rescheduled.
Take care of yourself and those around you.
There were 16 players in Leuven Monthly 2, including 5 news players; Itzhak, Miquel, Lizbeth, Tamara, and Chantal, welcome to the club!
We played three 7-point matches, and at the end, Henri and Kristoffer got the first place with the perfect score of 30.
See you in the next Leuven Monthly, on 22nd of March, at 13:45.
We played the first Leuven Monthly on 26th of January. There were 13 players for Leuven Monthly, plus two players who were playing their BIC games, and two guests. We were happy to welcome a new player among us, Oguz.
The winners of the first Leuven Monthly were Alain and Riza, with 30 points.
