Compliments of Assuria General and Life Insurance Companies, the Most Valuable Player (MVP) at the Kares One Guyana T10 Blast will ride off with a brand new motorbike.
Valued at more than G$250,000, the organisers welcomed the support from one of Guyana’s leading insurance companies.
The handing over was done Wednesday at the company’s massive headquarters at 33 Church Street, Georgetown.
Sanjiv Nandlall, Assuria’s Senior Supervisor for Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Marketing, expressed immense joy in collaborating with the organisers, noting it a tournament that he predicts to be “very exciting” and expects a massive following to attend over the two days.
Representatives from the company should be present further to inform the public about their secure and affordable packages. Co-Director of the tournament, John Ramsingh, thanked Assuria for the support, noting it was more than a noble gesture, as he highlighted the support from corporate Guyana and President Dr. Irfaan Ali is paving the way for the tournament to blossom in years to come.
The tournament features 32 teams with representation from all regions except Region Nine. Several active and former national players will feature for their teams over the two-day extravaganza.
Preliminary matches will be staged at the Police Sports Club, the Guyana Defence Force, Queen’s College Ground, YMCA, and Transport Sports Club, while the finals will be held at the Everest Cricket Ground on July 30.
The first-ever champions will pocket G$1M, while the losing finalist will collect G$300,000.
The two losing semi-finalists will walk away with G$100,000 each. There will also be prizes for outstanding individual performances.
Additionally, there will be a celebrity match before the championship match where the winning side will be rewarded G$200,000, which will be donated to a charity of their choice.
In what has turned out to be the perfect family-oriented event, the organisers have promised to set up a specially designated area, the Kids Zone.
