Prime Clubs

The U.S. Backgammon Federation provides financial support to local affiliated clubs with ten or more USBGF members including the club director, to help promote the growth of backgammon in their communities.

Cash awards are equal to 10 percent of dues revenue received from Premium and Youth members.  Cash awards may be used at the discretion of the local Affiliated Club Director to support the shared goal of growing the backgammon community. The request can be made at any time the 10 member threshold is reached, and then on an annual basis subsequently.

If a local club director wishes to request this award, contact info@usbgf.org, or if the club director would like a list of USBGF members in their geographic area, similarly contact info@usbgf.org.
