Women's World of Backgammon Backgammon Tournament Primer
by Christine Merser & Karen Davis
*Launching Fall 2024*
The Backgammon Tournament Primer, written by the co-founders of Women in Backgammon, Christine Merser & Karen Davis, encompasses the genesis of both the results of a survey of hundreds of backgammon players from around the world, as well as interviews with women around the roadblocks they face when entering tournament play. It was inspired by a player's outreach two years ago when she suggested that we create a resource about tournament play, covering topics such as how to enter, what to enter, etiquette, dos and don'ts, and more. With this book, the authors hope to help women feel more confident as they enter the tournament room and embark on their journey to success. The primer will also contain the new 2024 USBGF Tournament Rules document.

We would love to virtually participate in your book club gatherings regarding this book when possible. Input from our readers is invaluable. Contact us at flightofthestarlingnovel@gmail.com to check availability.
We've prepared a number of questions we welcome you to discuss with your book club. You will find them in the back of your book or download them below.
1. This book is written in first person, present tense, from Justine’s point of view. This is rarely done and sometimes frowned upon in literary circles, although some recent novels, Hunger Games and Wild, for example, are also written this way. Did you notice this difference? Would you have preferred it to be narrated in past tense?
2. The plot is moved along mainly with dialogue (internal and external) and there isn’t a lot of description. What are your thoughts on this? Do you prefer more or less description in the books you choose?
