Gibbons prepared for tournament …Student-organised tournament will be held for one day

Created with the intention of encouraging student interaction and bringing students together at the University of Guyana, “Kings of Studies 2019”, a small-goal football tournament, has been designed with a twist.
The tournament, championed by one first-year International Relations student, Jafar Gibbons, will be held for one day only, on February 2, 2019 and will feature 10 teams.
Traditionally, sports at the University are organised on an inter-faculty basis. What that means is that teams comprise students from the various faculties and they compete as such. The aim of this tournament, however, is to allow students to compete on teams comprising members from various faculties.
When the tournament kicks off, teams will be vying for top honours, which include trophies and medals, and individual prizes such as sneakers and an MVP gold ring. If there are more than 16 teams contesting, the games shall be played for two weeks. The matches will be round-robin style, followed by the knockout stage, which will be three games – two semi-finals and the final. The games will be played in two five-minute halves.
The event organiser stated that he would like to thank the following persons who would have thrown tremendous support behind the tournament: C&L Construction Inc, Kashif & Shanghai Organisation, Guyana Football Federation Inc, The Office of the Vice-Chancellor at the University of Guyana, Signature Moov, Robbie Rambarran, Asim Shakur, ASP Antonio Fredericks, Sharma Solomon, and Lavern Fraser, to name a few.
Gibbons added that his management team for the event comprises an all-female cast, who will also be sharing out goodies and snacks for the participating teams.
