At the conclusion of the tournament, the Everest Domino team presented a plaque to the son of the late Dass as an appreciation for his contribution to sports, and for his general demeanour.
The matches were played in a friendly atmosphere, and the participants enjoyed great camaraderie.

He was a prominent member of the Traders Dominoes team, and close friend of the members of Everest and Cold Fusion teams.
