Mary Hickey reports on the 2012 ABT Michigan Summer Backgammon Championships held in Novi, Michigan on July 5 through July 8, 2012.

The Michigan Summer Championships was held July 5 through July 8, 2012 at the usual place, the Sheraton on Haggerty Road in Novi. Carol Joy Cole was director, assisted by her longtime point man and rabid Pearls Before Swine fan, Paul Berg (Hellooo, zeba nayba!), former directors of the now discontinued Indianapolis ABT event Butch and Mary Ann Meese, and Master of Ceremonies John Carrico.

Here is Carol handing John a door prize to give out as he gets the party started:

Great article, and I think it's interesting that you focused on my "friendly rivalry" with Carter. Since we are now within 1 point of each other near the top of the ABT race, we have made a considerable bet on who ends up higher (I spotted him the difference in points so it is an even bet). The result will probably be that we both spend way too much money going to a lot more ABT events where neither of us wins any points or money and we both end up losers. (But we're used to that and have a lot of fun along the way!)
