So the Asian Grand Prix that recently took place in Tashkent, Uzbekistan seemed from afar to go off rather well. Crazy added money, streaming, high participation, good set up etc... The next event on their calendar is approaching quickly, The Georgian Grand Prix which is set to take place in Tbilisi.
The thing is, the tournament is billed to take place from May 28th - June 30th. That's less than two months away. What's the big deal? Well, there's hardly any information out there on what events, registration, how much things cost. There's a hotel listed but that hotel is currently *sold out*. I've checked both the IBF FB Page and their Web Site. There are inquiries from players asking what the deal is with the hotel/where to stay and so far no answers. I can't imagine it getting near the draw of travelers if there's no information out there this close to the date. Fingers crossed things work out.
Who wants a side bar story? Too bad! You're getting it anyway. Back in 2009 there was a tournament in Tbilisi, the 3rd Gogi Bukia Memorial Georgian Backgammon Open & 4th Davis Doubles. I ended up playing doubles with Falafelfish. And you know what I just realized? BGO is amazing because I don't have to retell this story. I'm sure I told it in 2009 and I can simply link it to you now.
