Each NBKO tournament begins with a round of 8 players paired together at random. Each winner goes forward to a second round of 4 players and so on until a tournament winner is found. The winner of each NBKO tournament enters the prestigious NBKO Hall of Fame.

A full explanation of the tournament and playing rules can be viewed here.

The NBKO continues to be a popular format for club members, and we currently have many tournaments on the go. However we can always start more, so why not give NBKO a go? You play only one opponent in each round! We are very close to the required number for another Webserver tournament and a new postal tournament, so let me know if you are interested in either (or both) of those.
