Thirty-two teams will take to the field but by the end of the day, only four will head on to Sunday for the play-off stage in the largest tapeball tournament in the country, the Kares One Guyana T10 blast.

Due to rain, the tournament has added the Everest Cricket Club and the Georgetown Cricket Club to their list of venues – YMCA, Police Sports Club, Queen’s College, Guyana Defence Force (GDF) and Transport Sports Club, ensuring the tournament is played to the highest standard.

All teams making it to the final day at Everest will not walk away empty handed, but all will be vying for the top prize of $1M, the largest payout in the history of the sport locally. Second place will cart off  $300,000 while the losing semi-finalists will win $100,000 each. An exhibition match will also be played among notable personalities in Guyana for $200,000 which will be donated to charity.
