(Undated) -- Two Iowa college students who really like to play with dominos, have won a 100-thousand dollar national prize for their creations.

Twin brothers, Alex and Derek Koops, and their teammate Lyle Broughton of Massachusetts have won the title of Domino Masters on a national T-V show.

The Koops have been showing off their elaborate domino creations on you-tube for years. Last year, they were invited to compete on the show. Wednesday night, their team, called the Dominerds" won the championship.

The Koops are juniors at Dordt University in Sioux Center, Iowa. They've also used their talents to create a side-business called DaksDominos, billed as professional domino art.
