The GDA and the Sports Ministry have collaborated to host the Nation-wide competition for anyone interested in playing draughts and the first match in the knock-out competition is scheduled to commence at 10:00hrs. No entrance fee is required and tournament Organizer Jairam told Kaieteur Sports yesterday that registration will be done tomorrow morning at the Stadium and said that anybody from anywhere in Guyana who wants to play draughts at a competitive level is invited to turn up at the Stadium tomorrow.
