National Stick Fighting Competition 2020 Postponement

Port of Spain, Trinidad, Saturday, February 8, 2020: After an agreement by the National Carnival Commission of Trinidad and Tobago (NCC) to meet the demands of the stick fighters for payment of the prizes from the preliminary round, held on January 24 in Moruga, as well as provide advance payments on the semifinal round, held at the Arima Velodrome on February 7, even prior to its commencement, the NCC was unable to meet the fighters’ on-the-spot demands for an immediate increase in prize monies.

As a result of the impasse, the National Stick Fighting Competition 2020 has been postponed until further notice.

The NCC apologises to the public for any inconvenience caused by this unforeseen development.
