Slots filling rapidly as registration heats up for One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast

Anticipation for the fourth season of the One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast has reached an all-time high since registration officially opened.
Tournament organiser FL Sport has reported an unprecedented surge in interest, with team slots across various zones filling up rapidly as regional squads rush to secure their participation.
Tournament Director John Ramsingh expressed immense confidence in the trajectory of this year’s tournament, noting the overwhelming response from the cricket community.
“We are well underway for achieving the total number of teams we want this year – 80 – and we are confident that by the respective match days, we will have those teams,” Ramsingh stated to the media.
With the stakes higher than ever, organisers are urging teams to act quickly rather than delaying their entry while finalising their rosters.
Ramsingh emphasised the urgency of the first-come, first-serve system, recognising that the fierce nature of the competition often causes captains to deliberate over their lineups.

The Berbice, East Bank/West Demerara and Essequibo zones will have a maximum of 16 teams each, and East Coast Demerara/Georgetown will have 32 teams.
“It is a highly-competitive tournament, and we understand that teams may want to lock in players before registering, but we are reminding teams that the registration is first-come, first-served, and many teams have so far paid their registration fee and indicated squads will be submitted later as per tournament guidelines,” Ramsingh explained.
To accommodate this, Captains can immediately secure their team’s spot with a $35,000 entry fee and finalise their ultimate 15-man talent pools closer to their respective zonal start dates.
Registration forms are currently available through the tournament’s official social media channels or via direct WhatsApp contact at +592 635-2235.
The action-packed tournament is set to bowl off with the Berbice Zone on August 8-9, featuring 16 teams battling across four premier venues: the Port Mourant Community Centre Ground, No 69 Ground, Welfare Ground (Canje), and the Albion Sports Complex, which is slated to host the zonal final on Sunday, August 9.
Following the opening leg in Berbice, the tournament moves to East Bank/West Demerara on August 15-16, followed by the Essequibo leg on August 22-23.
In a strategic move to maximise fan engagement and support local cricket festivities, the competition will pause during the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) window.
Action will resume post-CPL with the highly competitive Georgetown/East Coast Demerara leg, spanning September 26-27 and October 3-4. This all leads towards the historic national grand finale on October 11, 2026, which will be hosted for the first time at the Anna Regina National Stadium in Region Two.
Financial incentives for the 2026 season have reached an all-time high, with the introduction of guaranteed cash prizes for every single team that reach the quarter-final stage of their respective zone.
Rewards begin at $25,000 for losing zonal quarter-finalists and scale up significantly, culminating in a $500,000 purse pocketed by the zonal winners before they advance to the National Finals.
The stakes at the national level are even higher, as teams will compete for a massive $2,000,000 grand prize, while the runners-up take home $1,000,000.
In addition to the substantial cash prizes, the four national finalists will earn the prestigious right to represent Guyana at the upcoming Global T10 Tapeball Blast this October.
Individual brilliance will also be handsomely rewarded throughout the tournament.
The eventual tournament Most Valuable Player (MVP) is set to walk away with $150,000 and a brand-new motorbike.
Specialised awards for the leading run-scorer and top wicket-taker include $100,000 and a new television each, ensuring that personal milestones are celebrated alongside team success.
