    I'm not against this idea, Backgammon is a fun game, and I know a lot of poker players started out playing Backgammon back in the day.

    But I'm not sure you can just lay claim to the winner of this tournament being crowned Australian Backgammon Champion.

    I mean, if that was the case me and my mate played Scrabble yesterday, I won, so can I claim the title of Australian Scrabble Champion ??

    You can call them the Grand Poobah of World Backgammon if you like, but just giving them the title doesn't make it so.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but just seems odd.

    a bit like the 4 Rugby Union mates that created the 1st Soduko Australian Team so they could represent their country. Funny stuff!
