Make payment on PayPal to payments@usbgf.org with a notation indicating the funds are for the IBC playoffs and notify Joe Russell at Joe@usbgf.org that you are planning to participate. · If you prefer, you can also enter the U.S. Playoffs directly by donatiing $160 on PayPal through the USBGF account payments@usbgf.org and sending an e-mail to info@usbgf.org indicating that you wish to enter directly or send a check payable to the U.S. Backgammon Federation mailed to Karen Davis, Treasurer, 4838 Laurel Hill Place, Toledo, Ohio 43614 and send an e-mail to info@usbgf.org indicating that you wish to enter directly. · You can also still qualify by entering the IBC $20 donor pool at the two remaining ABT tournaments in Florida August 19-22 and in Wisconsin September 2-4.

Each player may qualify up to two times.
