From a sprawling nationwide field of eighty teams, the Lotto/Let’sBet One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast has narrowed down to four undefeated contenders.
On Sunday, October 11, the Anna Regina National Stadium will host the ultimate climax as Berbice champions GrillMaster Sip N Play All-Stars, three-time semi-finalists Mahdia (Movements Family), Lusignan Bulls DTP II and SVC/AJM CC put their perfect records on the line for national supremacy and a $2 million.
“This has truly been a tournament to remember,” said tournament director John Ramsingh. “We are witnessing the absolute pinnacle of local tapeball where the best collide on our biggest stage.”
Beyond the $2 million crown, the runners-up will take home $1 million, and each losing semi-finalist will earn $500,000.
These cash prizes add to the $500,000 each of these teams won as respective zone champions.
The finals will also pioneer new ground as FL Sport introduces umpire TV reviews for the first time in domestic tapeball. The technology will help with critical run-out and stumping calls, as well as bowling-action reviews, with international umpire Zahid Bassarath joining the officiating panel.
“This innovation represents a major step forward for local tapeball cricket, ensuring high-stakes matches are officiated with professional precision,” Ramsingh added.
Individual brilliance comes with major rewards, thanks to four-time sponsor Regal Super Centre.
The tournament MVP will win a brand-new motorbike and $150,000, while the top run-scorer and leading wicket-taker will each receive $100,000 and a television set. Cash prizes are also set for the Player of the Final ($75,000), Super Strike Rate ($50,000), and Best Economy Rate ($50,000).
Action bowls off at 13:00h with a five-over women’s clash between Tapakuma (Elite Warriors) and Capey United.
Semi-final I follows at 14:00h as GrillMaster battle Mahdia, before Lusignan Bulls meet SVC/AJM CC at 16:00h.
After an 18:00h President’s Exhibition Match, the two semi-final victors will square off under the lights at 20:00h to crown the new One Guyana T10 champion.
