Following the success of the inaugural showpiece in 2017, the Georgetown Softball Cricket League (GSCL) Inc promised a bigger and better edition this year and judging from the support from teams and sponsors, the organisers seem to be on the right track for the biggest softball tournament ever in the history of Guyana.
The tournament will be played in two categories again: Male Masters (Over 45 years old) and Male Open with $600,000 and $700,000 first-place prizes respectively up for grabs. Additionally, the Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the Open category will ride away with a Hero motorcycle while the MVP in the Masters Category will go away with a 55-inch smart television set.
