champion of Chicago, IL. It is also a plus the state of Texas has many great domino players as well as neighboring states

Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma. Everyone is pretty excited about competing in domino tournaments in a city called

Domino, Texas. Many of the top domino players in the U.S. will be competing for big prize money including these confirmed

participants: 5 time world champion Jerome Wooten of Kansas City, Missouri, and the following two time world champions;

Billy Welch of Tallassee, Alabama, Robert Newsome, Sr., of Kansas City, Missouri and Mark Jackson (current world singles

throughout the year while trying to take the game to the next level and attract the likes of ESPN.

“The league will also focus on trying to get the game in after school (elementary) and summer programs because we know

this game offers way more than many of the violent video games the kids are playing these days,” said Travis Newsome. “We have a

program called, “Dominoes, More Than a Game,” where kids actually learn how to play the game but at the same time learn

such traits as critical thinking, probability analysis, logical and deductive reasoning and facing and handling adversity. Other

major components of the program include self-esteem, improved social skills and discipline.
