“Gold is Money” starts title defence on Friday

The Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Georgetown Championships’ group stage will officially commence on Friday, July 19th, at the National Cultural Centre Tarmac.
In this group stage, 16 teams — divided into four groups of four following conclusion of the elimination round, which lasted for two nights – will vie for the right to progress to the quarter-final stage of the tournament.
According to an official release from tournament coordinator Three Peat Promotions, “The impending group stage might be the most competitive in the history of the event, as several teams have already displayed their championship quality and aspirations during the elimination round.
“We envisage a highly competitive ground round, where any of the teams can progress to the quarter- final stage due to their quality. The fans will certainly be treated to pulsating action.”
The group stage, played according to a round robin format, will also be hosted on July 20th and 26th. The top two finishers from each of the four groups will advance to the quarterfinal and subsequent semi-final rounds.
Winner of the Georgetown Championships event will collect $500,000 and the championship trophy; while the second-, third- and fourth-placed finishers would cop $300,000, $200,000 and $100,000 respectively, together with the corresponding trophy.
