Mary Hickey reports on the 2009 American Backgammon Tour (ABT) Mid-Atlantic Championships, held from October 16 through October 18, 2009 in Towson, Maryland.

The economy may not be on a roll, but the crowd Elayne Feinstein and her family cohort attracted was about the same size as last year, with again a strong showing from the local area. This ABT event now in its second year was held October 16-18 in Towson, Maryland. (That's pronounced with the "ow" as in cow or owl, not as in, say, flow or crow.)

What a wonderful article and great pictures. However, I have one correction--the Advanced Division was also played with the progressive Last Chance. I like it and I think most people are in favor of it.
