Kares T10 Blast: Over $500,000 payout for quarter-finalists at Enmore
…Finals shifted to August 24
More thrilling action is anticipated this Sunday at the Enmore Community Centre Ground
In a bid to ensure players continue to reap the rewards of competing in the second season of the Kares One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast, FL Sport has upped the stakes for the quarter-finals, set for Sunday August 11 at the Enmore Community Centre Ground, East Coast Demerara.
The organisers have also indicated that, due to unforeseen circumstances and based on discussions with sponsors, the finals and Cricket For Charity match involving President Dr. Irfaan Ali have been brought forward to Saturday, August 24.
“In 2023, we stated we want to ensure we give back more to players and fans, and this year, we have increased all of the prizes and added a hefty quarter-final payout. Each of the eight teams at Enmore will be rewarded”, John Ramsingh, Director of FL Sport, has said.
According to Ramsingh, each of the four winners would pocket $100,000, while each loser would get $30,000, for a total payout of $520,000, sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport.
He elaborated that, at minimum, each of these eight teams would recoup their entrance fee of $25,000, while the winner would receive an early bonus.
Each of the losing semi-finalists on August 24 will take home $250,000, compliments of Premier Insurance.
