    Chouette:
    Ready for the ultimate social backgammon experience? Whether you're a seasoned "Box" or a Captain in the making, the Shore Backgammon Club is the place to be!
    Chouette is a high-energy, group activity where you can learn a ton about using the doubling cube and gain strategic insight from seasoned players. Come join the fun and level up your game!

    ##### How to Join the Action

    There are two ways to get your seat in the rotation:
    The Tournament Path: Enter the main tournament. If you are eliminated, your rebuy can be used to enter the Chouette.
    The Direct Entry: Skip the tournament and jump straight into the Chouette for a $30 entry fee (equivalent to a tournament play + rebuy).
    The Details
    Chouette Director: A designated Director will be appointed to manage the rotation and oversee all rules and regulations as well as set the stakes (upon agreement of all player).
    If you have a Doubling Cube, please bring one.
    Why Play Chouette?
    It’s the best way to improve your gameplay while enjoying the social side of the club. You’ll be privy to the strategy of the room and get more "cube time" than in a standard match.
    Collaborative Play: Teaming up as the "Captain" or "Crew" allows you to hear the logic behind expert moves in real-time.
    Casual Play:
    Love the game but want to skip the tournament pressure?
    🎲 Format: Play at your own pace. Non-tournament, zero-elimination, your rules.
    🎲 Bring: Your own board (BYOB).
    🎲 Always Playing: Play as long as an opponent is available. If no casual partners are free, you can hop into the tournament field for "for fun" matches so you never have to sit out a round!
    🎲 One Time Fee: $10 (Play all night!)
