MCC Backgammon Tournament
Every year a single-elimination knock-out tournament is held for members of the MCC Backgammon Society. The tournament runs through the season and all members are entered into the draw unless they explicitly opt out. The prize is a bottle of MCC champagne and the presentation of the MCC Backgammon Trophy, which will have the winner's name engraved on it and be displayed in the Writing Room.
