2011 Championships - Who Won What

Grand Prix Championship 2011 (171 Entrants)

After leading the field for several months and with little change between them, Julian Fetterlein and Julian Minwalla are this year's Grand Prix, 1st and 2nd. Myke Wignall was threatening to usurp Julian Minwalla but was unable to improve on his score and came in a creditable 3rd.

Ranking Championship 2011 (123 Entrants. 33 Qualifiers)
Julian Fetterlein makes it a 'double' as he remains at the top of the listing after a remarkable year's playing. In 2nd place was Paul Plumptre who tried valiantly to topple Julian but to no avail.

Julian Fetterlein

Grand Prix Champion and Ranking Champion 2011

Julian Minwalla

Grand Prix Runner-up 2011

Paul Plumptre

Ranking Champion Runner-up 2011

Finally

There's a good reason why Julian Fetterlein is the Biba Top Ranked player - he's bloody good at backgammon. He consistently makes it into Semis in the Knockouts and has been runner-up or winner in most of his tournaments. Also worthy of mention is Julian Minwalla, three times Main winner (he beat Julian Fetterlein in a few of his finals!), and Myke Wignall, winner of two Mains (and the Coventry Open). And, we can't miss Paul Plumptre out, all year long without winning a single Main and he still manages to come 2nd in the Ranking Championship.

Congratulations to our two new champion, Julian Fetterlein, and well done (but hard luck) to the Runners-up, Julian Minwalla and Paul Plumptre. Also, thanks to all this year's participants, and good luck to you all for 2012 when it all kicks off again in Brighton and it all restarts.
