Dear IBC Federation Heads,

I am writing to update you on the announcement of the draw for the 2nd
International Backgammon Championship. The USBGF will have its 4
participants as a result of the USBGF IBC Playoff no later than
December 22nd. Participating Federations still have time to plan for
submission of player representatives. The official public draw will
be performed at 12.00 EST, Wednesday, January 2nd on GridGammon.

If you have not submitted a short bio and photograph of your player
representative(s), please do so as soon as possible. I will also need
to know whether your representatives need GridGammon accounts so we
can get those in place ahead of time.

Required information for each player will be:

First and last name, email address, GridGammon nickname, phone number,
short bio, and photograph. Also, please start thinking about who will
be chosen to proctor your players' matches. We will need complete
information on proctors, including phone numbers, at the start of
round 1.

If you have not sent in your entry fee payment, I have all required
bank account information and IBAN numbers to facilitate wire transfers.

The new round deadlines are as follows:

Draw Announced: Wednesday, January 2nd
Round 1 Deadline: Wednesday, January 16th
Round 2 Deadline: Wednesday, January 30th
Round 3 Deadline: Wednesday, February 13th
Round 4 Deadline: Wednesday, February 27th or To Be Announced
Round 5 Deadline: To Be Announced

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you very much.
