fp Turks and Caicos

After last year’s successful tournament, Islandcom Wireless announced the dates for the 2nd annual National Domino Tournament.

The event will kick off September 30th in North Caicos, followed by South Caicos and Grand Turk the following two weekends. The final’s will finish the tournament off in Providenciales on October 22nd.

Last year’s tournament was a huge success says Islandcom’s marketing specialist, Chandra Craigg, “The 2010 National Domino Tournament was Islandcom’s first solo event last year and while it was incredibly successful, we are certain we can top it this year! We would like to continue and improve each year and make the event more enjoyable and exciting for all those involved.”

Leonard Forbes, member of Provo’s Bambarra Buds Team said of last year’s tournament, “This tournament gave the people of the Turks and Caicos a chance to enjoy themselves whether they were playing [dominoes] or just watching!” This year’s event will certainly be superior for players and spectators alike!

The Defending Champions – Provo’s The Undefeatables - will surely be back to defend their title. Grand Prize winners this year can look forward to taking home the crown of National Domino Champions as well as bragging rights until next year. The winning team will also take home $2,000 cash and a 3G Blackberry Bold each with one full year of Islandcom’s 3G service.

In addition to the Grand Prize and National Title, winners from each of the islands will also take home cash and phone prizes. Local winners from North, South, Grand Turk and Provo will take home Nokia Touch & Type smartphones as well as ‘the pot’, the entry fees collected from each island or $500 – whichever is greater.

Teams are encouraged to visit their local Islandcom location to register. Each team will be required to fill out a registration form and include $20 registration fee. Those wanting to participate are encouraged to register by September 30th. A limit of 32 teams will be in effect for each local leg of the tournament.
