Dominoes take center stage in the Big Apple.
March 17, 2007
Dominoes will take center stage in the Big Apple, when over 400 of the best players will meet at New York’s #1 Latino Night Club to celebrate their passion for the game of Dominoes. Players from as far away as Mexico, Jamaica, Colombia and Spain will travel to New York to compete with players from the U.S. to determine who is “El # Uno” in a sport that has come alive since the airing of the Las Vegas Tournament on National TV. The NYC Domino Tournament, Sun April 29, 12-7pm at Latin Quarter is the first of a Series of events that will be hosted in the New York area by worlddominotournaments.com, a site published by R. Paniagua Inc., a company based in New York that has focused on multi-cultural programming for the past 25 years.
The format of the Tournament will be Double Six with no elimination. Instead each two-man team play Five 200 point games with a 40 minute time limit per game. And then the top teams will vie in the sixth game for the Title. Upcoming events include The Puerto Rico and Dominican Day Parade Tournaments, two huge weekend events in the City. These will culminate with a Multi-City event that concludes in Las Vegas in the Fall of 2007.
Dominoes is a favorite past time in the Caribbean, including both Spanish and English speaking cultures as well as Mexico, Central and South America and parts of Europe. In some countries after baseball or soccer, Dominoes is the most important sport.
