The 1993 national launch brought organized domino onto a major public platform. Senior D&G / Desnoes & Geddes executives were present, led by a vice-president, and the guest speaker was Jamaica's Minister of Sports.
Curator's Note: This video is treated as a primary source. A later version of this exhibit should include exact speech transcripts from the Minister of Sports, the D&G Vice-President and Flavius Laidley.
D&G / Dragon Stout sponsorship placed domino within the orbit of Jamaica's strongest sporting sponsorship culture.
The presence of the Minister of Sports showed that the competition had national sporting significance.
The competition was supported by formal organization, judging and an official rule book.
