Online Backgammon Site Applies For Guinness World Record
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008Backgammon Masters, typically known for its exceptional online gaming experience, has found a new way to promote its Backgammon Freeroll Tournaments; by carving its company name into the Guinness Gamers World Record books. Diverting from its usual online backgammon games, Backgammon Masters, also known for online blackjack games will take to the skies to initiate the ‘farthest backgammon dice toss’.
The online gaming company has presented an application to the Guinness Gamers World Records that, if all goes off without a hitch, will see the Backgammon Masters name go down in history. The plan is to use a helicopter, two extra large dice and a one-acre field to expedite one massively entertaining Backgammon match.
Pilot Quentin Smith, hired for his expertise in helicopter safety and regulations - famous for traversing across the desert and perilous territories of the Arctic in the most extreme conditions - will fly the helicopter 200-300 feet into the air. On board the helicopter will be two professional backgammon players competing in the extraordinary backgammon match.
The players will be tossing specially developed, inflatable dice, created to withstand such a distant impact, into a one-acre field below. The field will be specifically designed imitate that of a traditional backgammon board. On the ground below, staff members will be stationed around the board with walkie-talkies so that the players can communicate how they would like each game piece to be maneuvered around the backgammon field.
Backgammon Masters plans to sell tickets to the event with all proceeds to be given to charitable organizations. Barring any unexpected hindrances to Backgammon Masters’ blackjack and backgammon application, Guinness will be on hand to witness and document the spectacular event.
To the winner goes the spoils - in this case the remarkable dice created for the record-breaking match. The player who triumphs in the end will receive both dice, valued at approximately 1,000 Euro. Both players, however, can expect their names to go down in history, should the ‘farthest backgammon dice toss’ be a success.
