Backgammon Masters is a online backgammon operator and they recently hosted a Backgammon Freeroll tournament in honor of the UEFA Champions League Final tonight in Moscow. The Freeroll tournament will be held online at their site after the game is over in Russia along with a private party being held in Moscow City.

The UEFA Championship Final between Alex Ferguson's Manchester United and Avram Grant's Chelsea is estimated as having a world wide viewer ship of over 35 million. So Backgammon Masters knew that there would be many viewers sitting at home after the game or on their computers watching the live interviews and stats.

So Backgammon Masters decided to have a post game SK freeroll in the spirit of healthy competition. A spokesperson for Backgammon Masters said, “We find that we have a huge increase of traffic to the site after big sporting events in Europe because people are at home and they are already in game mode, and our site is the place where they come to release post game tensions and basically have some competitive fun.”
