In the event of a washout, the BCB will reschedule the game. Five (5) overs will constitute a match.
In rain interrupted matches, the run rate will be checked, using the score in the current over in progress of the second team and that of the team that batted first, for that same number of overs, to determine a winner.
The Tournament is being sponsored by the Madray and Chintamani families in Memory of the Legendary Ivan Madray, who played two tests of the West Indies in 1958.
Madray, a product of Port Mourant CC was the third Berbician to play Test Cricket for the West Indies.
The BCB through its president Dr Cecil Beharry recently received the sponsorship for the competition from Mr Chandradat Chintamani nephew of the late Ivan Madray.
Dr Beharry expressed profound gratitude on behalf of the BCB. Mr Chintamani, on behalf of his family, was pleased to be associated with the BCB once again.
The competition began in 2018. Albion CC are the defending champion.
