I didn't recall the first sentence below, which you could argue would include common rules. However, the ABT as it currently exists is simply the points race described in the second sentence. The only requirements to be an ABT tournament are that it must be at least 2 days, and you have to pay Bill the ABT fee. Bill has always held that each director is free to run his or her tourney as he or she sees fit.
From the ABT page:
OVERVIEW
The purpose of the Tour is to promote unified tournament backgammon throughout the United States.
The ABT master point race is an annual event patterned after the American Contract Bridge League's point race. Master points are earned for the year by players who cash in the tournaments. Once earned, they can never be taken away. So the ABT winner will likely be an individual who has attended and placed in a good number of tournaments during the current year.
