Some 74 of the best male and female teams would collide in what is anticipated to be a very competitive championship; as only the fittest would survive playing on the sand at the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP-C) Linden office ground.
A total of 10 female teams will be matching skills using the round-robin format, and among them are defending champions Speightland, GDF, Iconic Strikers and Hururu, while a total of sixty-four (64) male teams are set to clash using the knockout format. Among them are defending champions DC Ballers, Hard Knocks, Spaniards, YMCA and LA Ballers.
Over four million dollars in cash, trophies, and other incentives would be up for grabs; and the playing days are May 18, 21st, 23rd, 24th, 26th, 30th, 31st, June 4th (Quarter finals), 7th (semifinals) and 14th the grand final.
