JAKARTA - The paradigm shift towards brain sports (mind sports) is increasingly evident in the academic environment. Budi Luhur University officially confirmed itself as a pioneer of private universities in DKI Jakarta who successfully held a domino championship by adopting the national regulation standards from the parent organization of Domino Sports (ORADO) on Sunday, August 9, 2026.

The holding of this event is not only to present exciting competitions, but also as a form of public education that dominoes if managed with the right regulations can be a means of sharpening intelligence, logic and high concentration.

The Chairman of the BPH of the Budi Luhur Cakti Education Foundation (YPBLC), Julian Bongsoikrama, B.A., M.Sc., emphasized the importance of the role of educational institutions in opening up space for new sports branches that have the potential to produce outstanding athletes.

"The foundation feels very proud and appreciates the hard work of all the committees and the order of the participants who have maintained the competition until it is completed properly. Today's event is a tangible proof that the campus arena is able to become the right educational stage to separate between traditional recreational games and the branch of achievement sports that have clear and nationally recognized rules of competition," said Julian.

Julian also underlined that the YPBLC's post-event perspective is very positive. The success of today's event is a strong foundation for the foundation to continue to develop this competition to a higher level.

"Seeing the enthusiasm of the participants that exceeded expectations and the positive impact created after the event ended today, YPBLC confirmed its commitment to continue to support the development of this intellectual sport in a sustainable manner. Budi Luhur University is ready to become the main platform and pioneer in facilitating youth activities that combine agility, discipline, and friendship," he continued.

In its implementation, the championship at Budi Luhur University carries the official Law of 101 match system. This rule requires each participant to understand the precise mathematical calculations on each domino stone played. Unlike casual games in the community which generally end at 50 or 100 points without referee supervision, in the ORADO system the entire match is led by a licensed referee who ensures compliance with regulations.

In order to maintain the smoothness and quality of technical services, the committee limited the quota of participants to 32 selected teams in this first edition. This restriction is carried out so that all the match flow, from the preliminary round to the final round, can be optimally monitored by the official jury and referee teams.

The excitement of the first ORADO standard domino championship at a private university in Jakarta is complete with the presence of a well-known entrepreneur and Chairman of the Public Relations Department of PB ORADO, John LBF, and musician Anji who acted as Brand Ambassador. The two appreciated Budi Luhur University's courage in taking the initiative to host this sport full of potential.
