The country’s top dominoes teams will swing into action this afternoon from 2pm at the Turning Point Sports Club where the lucrative Mark `Jumbie’ Wiltshire birth anniversary dominoes competition will be played.
Today’s competition follows hot on the heels of the recent Pull-a-Rama competition organized by Orin Boston and also held at the Turning Point venue.
That competition was won by Colin Mc Ewan Jr.,
This time, however, it will be team play, that will win the day as teams such as Mix up C&, Spartans, Phantom, Gold is Money, Thunder, Players, C6 and others vie for the first prize of a whopping $175,000, which according to Wiltshire, Senior Organising Secretary of the Georgetown Dominoes Association, is guaranteed.
The second, third and fourth-placed teams will receive $75,000, $35,000 and $20,000 respectively.
There are a number of additional prizes with the Most Valuable Player set to receive $10,000 and the best female player in the tournament $5000.
Wiltshire said that all teams are required to walk with a good pack of dominoes and that there will be no excuses as the tournament will start promptly. The entrance fee per team is $12,000.
