Baron Vernon Ball was an American backgammon player who won the official World Championship of Backgammon held in the Bahamas in 1976, the first official world championship held in the Bahamas. Dale Kerr's history of the championships lists Arthur Dickman of the United States as the runner-up in that final. In 1976 the Monte Carlo casino also staged a separate event called the European Championship, won by Joe Dwek, and in 1979 the two events were merged into a single World Championship at Monte Carlo. Ball is listed under the name Vernon Ball in some accounts of the Bahamas event.
