June 18th, 2022, has been set a D-day, with Magnum tonic Wine coming on board as the primary sponsors once again.
Organiser Edison Jefford, who was one of two to confirm the hosting of the event, elaborated on reason behind the mini tournament, highlighting that fans’ response played a huge role.
“Following the final, we had lots of feedback from patrons about the nature of the semifinals between Sparta and Bent Street which finished 18-17 and the final with Back Circle which ended 6-5, and didn’t finish in favour of Sparta. The nail- biting finishes are still fresh in the minds of the patrons and the main sponsor Magnum, felt as though we should relive the experiences,” Jefford said in a statement on Thursday.
The organiser went on to state, “That’s how we came to stage this one day event dubbed ‘Unfinished Business’ so we can give the patrons a chance who didn’t get to witness the semifinal and final, the chance to witness both matches on one night.”
The Champion of the one- night championship will clinch $300,000, while second place pockets $150,000, third place $100,000 and fourth place walks away $50,000.

“The streets have asked us for it and we will deliver because of the tremendous support of the previous tournament and the spectators being jilted by the outcome of the tournament. We are a brand for the streets and we have heard the streets and we will deliver, it will be called unfinished business,” Baird commented.
According to organisers, an official launch for the mini tournament will take place soon, with added information about the event being disseminated at that time.
