A few of us have been talking a while about having a domino tournament after watching the fabulous World Championships on ESPN last summer. We have a couple bars (smoking and non) interested in supporting.
It would be typical six-count to 250 points. We will have an organization meeting in a couple weeks, with the tourny taking place in September. If you are interested being involved or playing, contact or leave a comment here.
After Luck With Poker, ESPN Bets on New York Dominoes
The next big thing in sports programming is … dominoes?
John Marshall Mantel for The New York Times
ESPN has scouted dominoes at the Altamira Club in the Bronx.
To the occasional domino player, it is a stretch to even call this quiet game of straight-faced strategy a sport. But anyone who has spent time in a Latino neighborhood in New York City could testify that dominoes played there — with the slammed-down tiles, the verbal sparring, the bragging and bluffing — is no parlor game.
