Registration for traditional games competitions as part of the Heritage Village Evenings Festival, which runs until the 18th of the holy month, has opened, the Information Affairs Ministry announced yesterday.
The registration period ends on Monday. The ministry said prior registration is mandatory and no registrations will be accepted after this date.
The competitions include three traditional games: Carrom, Cote 6, and Dominoes. Participation is open to all age groups of citizens and residents, whether amateurs or professionals.
The registration fee is BD3 per participant, who must adhere to all rules and regulations of the competition, with any unsportsmanlike conduct or attempts at cheating strictly prohibited.
A specialised referee will be appointed for each game to ensure the implementation of rules and regulations, and the referees’ decisions will be final and non-negotiable.
The first-place winner will receive a cash prize of BD1,000, the second-place winner will receive BD500, and the third-place winner will be awarded BD250.
The organising committee noted that it will send the competition schedule to all participants after the registration period ends, urging those interested to complete the registration form via the designated link, as participation will not be permitted for those who do not register within the specified period.
