MARATHON RULES:

2.   Choose one player name to be worn for the entire event.

3.   Match Setup:  1 point unrated game with no timer.  All IBA Tournament Rules will be in effect for boots, disconnects, conduct and disputes.  You are responsible for confirming the game options before joining your opponent.

4.   Gammons and backgammon’s only count as one win.

5.   You may not play the same player two (2) times in a row unless there is no one else in the room to play AND pre-approved by the on-duty IBA Representative.

6.   You may only play the same opponent a maximum of ten (10) games during the entire Marathon.  You are encouraged to keep track!

7.   You will be awarded one (1) IBA Winner Point for every win.

8.   The IBA Marathon Winner will be the player that accumulates the most wins over the entire Marathon.

9.   Game winners only report your win in the lobby like this: ****roscoron_fiba/NorthernJoy_FIBA (winner’s name listed first)

      The IBA representative will type a confirmation in the lobby that the win post was received and documented.
