32 star-studded teams finalised for Kares One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast
Kaieteur Sports – The registration process for participation in the inaugural Kares One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast is completed, and confirmed by the tournament organizers – FL Sport.
The leading 32 teams across the country have inked their commitment to the historic two-day tournament on July 29 and 30 in Georgetown.
The ten overs per-side tournament will be played in a straight knockout format with matches on the opening day at the Guyana Defence Force Ground, Police Sports Club Ground, and Queen’s College Ground, while the semi-finals and grand final will be on July 30 at the Everest Cricket Club Ground.
To progress to the championship match, a team must win three matches on day one and their semi-final on day two.
They will then qualify to compete for the first prize of $1M cash and the specially crafted One Guyana Trophy.
Co-Director of the tournament, John Ramsingh.
According to the Co-Director of the tournament, John Ramsingh, “Initially, we wanted 16 teams, but the demand and interest were enormous, and we had to expand to 32 [teams]. These teams are from across the country, a testament to our intention of bringing teams together from all over Guyana.”
He further stated, “From the squads submitted, it promises to be exhilarating action at its best, and we hope all teams follow the rules and exercise discipline. We know this tournament is in its infancy stages and will grow with more corporate support in the future. Additionally, the support of His Excellency Dr. Irfaan Ali has been pivotal since he accepted to be the tournament’s patron and has displayed his commitment to sport.”
Ramsingh also expressed immense gratitude for the support of Kares Engineering, who quickly committed to being the title sponsor, and Mohamed’s Enterprise, who funded the first-place prize and offset the transportation cost for team Moruca.
