The organisers disclosed that the event would be a family affair with a non-alcoholic bar, popular music by the True Heart Family set, while live commentary would be provided as well. Teams would be allowed a total of three first division players, once they are not debarred by the Berbice Cricket Board for the current cricket season.

They include players like Esuan Crandon, Assad Fudadin, Royston Crandon, Kelvon Anderson, Kevin Sinclair, Junior Sinclair, Clinton Pestano, Jonathan Rampersaud, Shemaine Campbelle and Erva Giddings.
