Unity Cup Softball to be played nationwide

The Unity Cup tournament, which will determine the national champions in four categories — males open; female; under fifteen, and over 40 masters — starts next weekend.
Incentives as well as appropriate trophies and medals would be up for winners. A new format will be introduced for sporting fans in the one ball which will have incentives as well.
Each day of cricket will have its fair share of one ball, and each day a winner will move on to the next round after clashing with the other winners. Each region will produce a winner, and those winners will play against each other at various stages of the other cricket. The overall winner will be known as the king or queen of the one ball.
The other games will see the four categories of the regions coming against each other to claim the title of national champion. The organizers noted that even though the tournament is not the richest, it is the prestige that is at stake, as each region will want to produce the best team in the country.
The under-fifteen will be contested between schools, and the representatives of each area are eager to get started. There are a number of schools which have already indicated their willingness to participate, and efforts by the reps to get the grounds in order to have the best games are commendable.
The female and the male open will be contested in the 10/10 format, and the masters in the 20/20 format.
The one ball new creative game is designed to give the fans a chance to feel how it is out in the middle. It will be contested between two individuals, and no other player will be on the field. Individuals can enter at the venues and the reps can guide them on the rules. The champion will be determined when the last man is left standing. Any individual male or female can enter.
Softball cricket has taken a dive in recent years, and this tournament is geared to resuscitate the game and to ensure its viability from here on. Any team can register in any zone.
Teams can contact representatives for more details on playing conditions and other concerns. In case reps are unavailable, teams are advised to call Mortimer Denny on tel numbers -687-3326; 442-1562; he can address all concerns in the rep’s absence.
Players are urged to respect each decision of the umpires at all times, and there will be no recourse for this. Discipline must be maintained, and each umpire will be graded during the tournament. Teams are urged to give feedback to the reps on all games, to dispel any doubts.
