Friends,

BBL-32 is now OPEN!

This time, only 31 players signed up, so we will have 3 groups of 8 players and one with 7. I will be keeping the remaining spaces open for the next 2-3 days so if you can recruit more strong and fast players, please do!

Based on the snapshot of participants’ ratings as of September 26, the four-group seeding is now set, and all games can begin! The top four players from each group will go to the 1/8 finals, with the playoff portion of the tournament being conducted on a best-of-three basis. All games must use the BG format only.

As always, I would like to reiterate that this is a BLITZ league. When you signed up, you agreed to play fast, abide by the rules and code of conduct, and report individual results on our BBL website promptly. We had a lot of back and forth on this. Please make sure you fulfil your part of the agreement.

IMPORTANT: Please update your challenge criteria to ensure you can be challenged by your group opponents or challenge them yourself first! Check your ignore lists, too. Please avoid any delays as all your group games must start by October 1!

To see who your group opponents are, please go to the home page of the BBL website (https://tinyurl.com/ze-bbl - bookmark this page!), where you will find the link to the Results page. Everything is set up on that page, including a ZE challenge link for each group opponent, which is created for your convenience. Click that link for each group opponent, and your BBL challenge will automatically open on ZE.

On the home page of the BBL website, you will find the result submission form. The winner of each game should fill in this form within 24 hours of completion in the following format: Player A - Player B 1:0, Gammon (if applicable).

As usual, I intend to update the results multiple times a day as I get automated notifications on your result submissions. Please review the results page often, and if you are not seeing some of your results, please don’t hesitate to submit them even if you lost a game. Your assistance here is greatly appreciated.

Here are a few important suggestions to speed up the games:
a) Communicate with your opponents to see what time of the day is best for both of you to be online.
b) If you happen to be on the losing side and your game is out of reach, consider resigning and updating the website with the result yourself, as your opponent might not notice that the game was over.

As usual, feel free to connect with me directly if you have any issues, questions, or concerns

Best,

Friends,

BBL-33 is now OPEN!

This time, only 29 players signed up, so we will have 3 groups of 7 players and one with 8. I will keep the remaining spaces open for the next 2-3 days, so if you can recruit more strong and fast players, please do. Also, we have two regular players who signed up, but their ratings were below 1700 on the day of seeding. Per BBL rules, I couldn't get them in, but will be able to add them if they get to 1700 within the next three days.

Based on the snapshot of participants’ ratings as of November 26, the four-group seeding is now set, and all games can begin! The top four players from each group will go to the 1/8 finals, with the playoff portion of the tournament being conducted on a best-of-three basis. All games must use the BG format only.
