The upcoming iteration of Guyana’s premier tapeball tournament, the One Guyana T10 Blast, is ushering in a new era of competition, dramatically escalating both the financial incentives and the material rewards for participants. A key highlight of this elevated season is the sponsorship deal with D&S Ramdeholl & Son Jewellery. As part of this partnership, the local jewelers have introduced a unique accolade: a custom-made gold trophy will be awarded to the player who achieves the most boundary hits throughout the tournament’s duration.
These additions underscore the overall professionalization and increased prestige surrounding the event. The tournament is set to take place in 2026, slated to be held at the newly constructed Anna Regina National Stadium. Alongside the luxury material prizes, the overall cash prize pool has seen a substantial overhaul, dramatically increasing what teams stand to win throughout the competitive zones and national finals.
This restructuring of the prize money aims to ensure that the rewards reflect the high level of skill and effort required to compete across the newly formed knockout stages. Furthermore, an expanded array of individual recognition awards has been put in place, ensuring that excellence in every facet of the game—from batting consistency to bowling prowess—is commensurately rewarded with significant cash payouts and hardware prizes.
