The Mackeson ‘King of the Rim’ three-on-three (3×3) Basketball Challenge will open Sunday
at The Independence Boulevard Court in Albouystown, returning to the venue after two years in an expected gruelling showcase of outdoor basketball skill.
The competition will feature four players per team and gets underway at 8pm. While registration is ongoing through bars and clubs, players can also register on the night with a cut off time up to 7:30pm to allow for the draws to be conducted for games.
Players interested in vying for the $500,000 first prize are asked to submit their forms early and avoid the late registration. To do so, players can call 600-3606 or drop off forms at the Ansa McAl Headquarters at BV, East Coast Demerara.
The runner-up team in the contest that will also be played at California Square in East Ruimveldt and Alberttown, Plaisance, Den Amstel and Linden, will go home with $300,000 while each night will feature giveaways for the fans that support the event.
Kaieteur Sport understands that three teams will be drawn from Georgetown, three from Linden, one from Plaisance and one from Den Amstel to comprise the final eight teams that will move on to the Grand Finale in December at California Square.
The event promises to provide some riveting individual basketball skill as the outdoor format of the sport usually does. Add an ardent Albouystown fan-base to that, and one can only expect the best of local basketball talents to be on show throughout the event.
The Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF) yesterday held a workshop to facilitate the FIBA (International Basketball Federation) rules governing this format of the sport. The Guyana Basketball Officials’ Council (GBOC) will officiate.
LISTEN HOW JAGDEO WILL MAKE ALL GUYANESE RICH!!!
