Hi!
I have made it possible to separate live and online matches so these are no longer mixed.
Clicking on the will switch to showing online PR:
I got sent a lot of matches (where one of the players was a Norwegian) from the recent European Team Backgammon Championship (EBIF) where Norway won! Awesome! :-)
Unfortunately only one Norwegian player survived this split and is still on the Live PR list:

As for online tournaments I might not have identified all but the ones I have tagged as online are:
EBIF
Gridgammon
IBC
IIBGF
Online FIBS Exhibition Match
There is also a: BGOnline but a match in this tournament:
Falafel & Victor Ashkenazi (2.71) - Mike Senk & Fran Goldfarb (2.19) 7pt BGOnline
makes me suspect that this is actually not an online tournament:
Any clue what tournament this was? Some candidates from chicagopoint:
ABT - 4th US BACKGAMMON OPEN January 13-16, 2012; South San Francisco, California
ABT - NEW YORK METROPOLITAN BACKGAMMON OPEN January 5-8, 2012; Jersey City, New Jersey
If the dates are accurate then it could be from both of these tournaments (or something else entirely...).
I just noticed "KlydeCrashcup" in the above list but the filename suggests Mike Senkiewicz. I thought his alias was Senk. So many aliases to keep track of! :-)
The matchinfo dialog has been updated with some additional info for flags and also direct link to player statistics and a wifi symbol to indicate online tournament:
But the real fun is found elsewhere on the server! :-)
