Prize giving will happen on site at the end of the day before heading into Newcastle for our Flügel x Kings afterparty - more information below!
As always, expect prizes of the pedigree Kings has become known for, alongside trophies and medals for the top-finishing teams. Continuing the support they’ve shown throughout the year, NUCO will also be backing Finals and bringing along even more stash for those landing in the top places.
