Sebastian and Oliver into 1/4 finals of UBC Contender.

This comp arguably finds the best player in the world! And guess what? Bone Club's two Pros Sebastian Wilkinson and Oliver Squire are in the last 8!

The winner of this UBC Contender will go on to play last years winner ZZ - Zdenek Zizka in the final. The contender competition this year is held in Copenhagen, Denmark at the Scandic Sluseholmen hotel as part of the Nordic Open. The competition is always run magnificently by Backgammon Galaxy.

The comp takes 2 aspects into account, 1 - the win and 2- The PR (how well XG Backgammon Software computes how well you played). In the initial part of the competition contenders can qualify via number of points or overall PR.

Oliver qualified by getting a total of 15 points whilst Seb qualified on his overall PR of 3.31. See below.

You can see the list of players battling it out in the quarter finals. It is knockout from here on in.

You can view the live stream on the Galaxy YouTube Channel tonight (Thur 17th April) at 8pm BST. Click graphic below to view.

May the force be with Seb and Oliver in the next round and beyond. A clear mind and some good luck always helps!
