Following much publicity and fan-fare, the 2017 edition of the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Georgetown Championship will officially be launched today, at the Banks DIH Limited Boardroom from 11:00am.
The tourney will commence on November 22nd and continue on the 23rd at the East Ruimveldt Community Center, commonly known as California Square.
According to an official release from the tournament coordinators, Three Peat Promotions, “Anticipation for the tournament is at an all-time high. The response from the communities and teams during the qualification period is evidence that the tournament is growing in popularity and prestige.”
The document further said, “Overall more than 90 teams illustrated their willingness to participate through the submission of registration forms and following an exceptionally competitive playoff round, we expect an even more competitive championship.”
“They are many teams that have quality to ascend to the throne. Teams such as Future Stars, Gold is Money, Leopold Street, North Ruimveldt and Queen Street Tiger Bay possess tremendous quality, and as such, defending champion Sparta Boss will have a fight on their hands to retain their championship,” it concluded.
Winner of the overall event will walk-away with $500,000 and the championship trophy along with automatic qualification for the National Playoffs.
