Question on Live Backgammon Tournaments

I have played backgammon for years but have never been to a backgammon club or tournament. Having played in many chess tournaments I was wondering if backgammon tournaments are run basically the same way.
Is there an entry fee with prize money just like chess? I have wondered about this for some time but can't seem to find a good answer on the internet. Thanks for any replies.

The tournaments here are run that way. There is a standard format, but bg tournaments are rare, as there is very little interest in them.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
