D&S Ramdeholl & Son Jewellery to reward ‘Most Sixes’ in One Guyana T10 Blast

The fourth edition of Guyana’s premier tapeball tournament sees a massive spike in stakes with bespoke gold prizes and a restructured $2.5 million top payout.

In a move that adds significant glitter to the upcoming season, D&S Ramdeholl & Son Jewellery has officially partnered with the One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast.

 The local jewellers will award a bespoke “Gold Prize”—meticulously crafted from Guyana’s finest gold—to the batsman who clears the ropes the most times during the fourth edition of the tournament.

Proprietor Sachin Ramdeholl expressed that the decision to join the tournament’s sponsor portfolio was driven by the event’s rapid rise in the local sporting landscape.

 Having observed the tournament’s evolution from a grassroots initiative to a national spectacle, Ramdeholl noted that the brand felt compelled to contribute to the high-octane atmosphere.

“We have been following the growth of this tournament for quite some time and were incredibly impressed by the level of talent and the community spirit it fosters,” Ramdeholl stated.

“We wanted to give back in a way that reflects the prestige of the event, and what better way to celebrate the power-hitters of Guyana than with a piece of our national heritage?”

The 2026 season, scheduled to run from early August through mid-October, is set to culminate under the lights of the brand-new Anna Regina National Stadium.

FL Sport is aiming to professionalise the format by introducing a quarter-final payout structure that significantly increases the financial incentive for participating teams.

Under the new prize distribution, each zone winner will now pocket $500,000. By advancing to the National Finals, teams remain in the hunt for a $2 million first-place prize, $1 million for the runner-up, or $500,000 for each of the losing semi-finalists.

This revamped structure effectively increases the potential overall prize to $2.5 million, with the runner-up walking away with $1.5 million.

In an effort to remain player-centred, FL Sport has expanded rewards for teams that fall short of the final stage.

The losing finalist at the zone level will receive $200,000, while losing semi-finalists will earn $50,000 each. For the first time in the tournament’s history, losing quarter-finalists will also be rewarded with $25,000 each, ensuring that more teams leave the competition with tangible returns on their efforts.

Individual excellence remains a cornerstone of the tournament’s allure. A comprehensive suite of cash awards has been established, including $150,000 and a motorbike for the Most Valuable Player.

The top run-scorer and leading wicket-taker will each receive $100,000 plus a television, while the Player-of-the-Final earns $75,000. Incentives for the Super Strike Rate and Best Economy Rate sit at $50,000 each, supplemented by non-monetary prizes for those recording the most dot balls, sixes, and fours.

Registration for the 80-team knockout tournament is scheduled to open in early May with a $35,000 entry fee.

Teams are permitted to register for any of the four designated zones: Berbice, East Bank/West Demerara, Essequibo, and Georgetown/East Coast Demerara.

Beyond the immediate financial rewards, the stakes are heightened by the announcement that zone winners will earn an automatic spot in the upcoming Global T10 Tapeball tournament.
