Friday 24th March 2023

The Trinbago Unified Calypsonians’ Organization (TUCO) wishes to announce that they were informed by the Chair of the TUCO Junior Calypso Committee, Ms. Thora Best that she had received several complaints of breaches of the 2023 Junior Calypso Monarch Competition, Rule 3.4. In light of this, the Junior Calypso Committee investigated and verified the complaints, that there were indeed breaches of Rule3.4. These findings were brought to the attention of TUCO’s General Council, and at their Friday, March 3rd 2023 meeting, a decision was taken to rescind the February 13th results to reflect the disqualification of the two Finalists in breach of the rule.

 

In keeping with exercising fairness, transparency and accountability, to all, Ms. Best had

subsequently informed the parents of both Finalists, of the Committee’s decision.

 

The Revised Results have been provided by the TUCO Adjudication Management Committee.

 

NO.
