47 Other Backgammon Clubs
The Danish BG Federation Phone: (+45 39 40 06 07)
The Danish Backgammon Federation is maintaining two extensive national
ratinglists (all matches and tournament matches). As far as I recall
we are currently rating more than 50,000 matches a year !!
Furthermore the DBgF is offering a variety of things stretching from a
monthly magazine, live tournaments EVERY DAY, international
tournaments (NORDIC OPEN every Easter) and many more things.
For your information: The DBgF is a democratically governed
organisation. We encourage all other nations to form national
organisations. It is the only way if we really want to promote the
game in a serious manner.

President of the Danish BG Federation
