In the final, Quiet Storm (84 games) defeated Providence (76 games) and Gold is Money (60 games) in that order to walk away with the top prize of $500,000, the largest first place prize in the history of the competition which saw Lions ending 4th.

Providence collected $250,000 for their first runner-up position with Gold is Money pocketing $125,000 and Lions, $40,000.

Ms. Candia Paul of Angels Dominoes Club received $10,000 for being the first Female to share a love with Evanderous Waldron from Mahdia ‘A’ Dominoes Team rewarded similarly as the first male.

A total of 25 teams from around the country converged in Bartica over two days to battles for the spoils and at the presentation ceremony, Bartica Easter Regatta Chairman Kenneth Williams complimented the teams for coming to beautiful Bartica to make the competition a high level one apart from a success.

“As Chairman of the Regatta Committee and the Region, I’d like to say that this was the largest dominoes competition in the history of Bartica. I am committing to supporting these events that boost our local economy and helps to celebrate our Regatta season as a premier event that caters for all sporting disciplines.

Without you being here, this would not have been the success it was, so I extend to all you players and teams a heartfelt thank you.”
