– 56 teams set for playoffs
Following eight weeks of domino rivalry across the length and breadth of Guyana, the F& H Printing Country wide Million Dollar Plus competition is nearing a climax with the start of the playoffs tomorrow (Saturday) and the grand final on Sunday at the National Gymnasium.
A total of 56 teams are set to compete in these finals stages which will be played on a two in, one out basis until the finalists are decided. Unfortunately, only the Mahaica/Mahaicony zone failed to participate.
Five (5) rounds of dominoes will be played tomorrow and four (4) rounds, including the final will be contested on Sunday. The organizers have stated that double six times on the final two days will be enforced without any degree of leniency.
Teams that are not present will be disqualified if the match is called. Teams, especially those out of town are being reminded to be guided accordingly and to take note of factors such as bridge openings.

Ms. Barbara Marshall will be in charge of match coordination and Mr. Colin Mc Ewan in charge of stewardship. In charge of adjudication; disciplinary action and disqualifications are Hazim Hakh, William Boston and Colin Mc Ewan.
