Known for its flashy and exquisite vehicle accessories, the company will be donating the tournament’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) prize and other trophies.
Noel ‘Rupee’ Shewjattan, proprietor of the Seaforth Street Campbelville located business said that for the past 15 years, his establishment has supported the tournament and this year, he’s pleased to form an alliance with the event.
According to Shewjattan, his initial intention was to donate a car to the MVP, but said that it can only be done with Government’s intervention to grant him the duty free concession.
“If they can take off the duty, next year for sure I will donate a nice sports car to the winner. I think a car will add more excitement to the tournament and when you think of it, a lot of these players can’t really go out and buy one and I would be happy to actually make that happen. So next year, if the Government can help with regards to the duty, I will commit to giving the MVP that car,” said Shewjattan.
Both Directors (Kashif Muhammad and Aubrey ‘Shanghai’ Major) of the organisation were on hand and all thanked Auto Fashion for not only their presentation towards this year’s tournament, but for also being a long time supporter.
Auto Fashion now joins Ansa McAl, Mohamed’s Enterprise, Demerara Distillers Limited under its Pepsi Brand, Church’s Chicken, Cell Phone Shack under its Plum Brand, Hits and Jams Television, Sonic Business Services, Club 704 and JGS Telecommunications as the tournament’s sponsors.
Meanwhile, the organisers announced that Georgetown based Fruta Conquerors was added to the tournament, replacing Bartica.
The tournament will conclude on April 5 and will be played in a ‘win or go home’ format where the eventual winners will pocket $2M, second place $1M while third and fourth places will collect $500,000 and $250,000 respectively.
