The runners-up will receive $30,000 and a trophy while the man of the match in the final will receive $5000 and a trophy.
The individuals finishing with the most runs and the most wickets in the tournament will receive Tech Gadgets as an incentive.
In addition, players will also have the chance to win special prizes if they are able to hit any of the Stag Beer flags tactically placed around the ground.
The club is encouraging parents and young kids to join the club in an effort to return it to its former glory and produce more cricketers, such as recent West Indies batting star, Shimron Hetmyer.
