The 15th annual Pittsburgh Charity Backgammon Tournament will take
place from Friday, February 19, 5pm, through Sunday, February 21, 7pm,
at the Pittsburgh Greentree Mariott.  This is a major tournament with a
lot of well known players attending.

The format is a new and interesting one:  the championship and
intermediate divisions have a reduced entry fee plus a side pool.
This way, the people who are "on the edge" between divisions can
fine tune how much they want to play for.

Main events:
    Championship:  $150 + optional $100 side pool
    Intermediate:   $70 + optional  $50 side pool
    Beginner:       $30

Other events:
    Doubles (Friday 7:30pm)        $120
    Masters Jackpot (Friday 7pm)   $300
    Amateur Jackpot (Friday 7pm)   $100  
       (Amateur is defined as never having been in the money in the 
        open division of a weekend tournament)
    Micro Blitz ($25), Fast Break ($5) - Continuous!

After 2/11/93, add $10 to the Intermediate and Championship entry fee.

To enter, call Steve Hast 412-823-7500 or Abbas Zaltash 412-935-9445,
or send a note plus a $25 deposit to
    Steve Hast
    3560 Ridgewood Dr.
    Pittsburgh PA 15235

If you need more info, send me mail and I'll have Steve send you a
tournament brochure.
