Stanford
20/20 Match team draw and the tournament schedule -
Anguilla slated to start against Grenada. |
Coolidge, Antigua – Wednesday, 4 July 2007 –
Following a random drawing process at the Sticky Wicket
Restaurant in Antigua, the 21 teams vying for US$1 million
in the 2008 Stanford 20/20 Tournament now know which country
they will have to prepare to defeat come January.
The drawing was attended by Stanford 20/20 Board Member Ken
Allen, QC and 10 of the 14 legends who make up the board.
Laverne Francis-Browne of PricewaterhouseCoopers was on hand
to oversee the draw and ensure that the integrity of the
selection process was maintained.
There were 8 teams seeded based on their performance in the
2006 Stanford 20/20 Tournament, they were Antigua and
Barbuda, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Jamaica,
Nevis, Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
The other 13 teams were drawn randomly to fill the other
spots in the Tournament draw (Teams 9-21). See attached
drawing of format.
How the drawing was conducted
There were two boxes, one containing the seeded team
names and the other containing the unseeded team names. The
legends each took turns selecting from the two boxes,
beginning with the unseeded teams. As a team name was drawn,
it was slotted in on the playing chart corresponding to the
order it was drawn. See actual tournament schedule below:.
The first match of the 2008 Stanford 20/20 Tournament will
be played on Friday, 25 January and will feature Cuba
playing St. Maarten. Cuba represents the only Spanish
speaking country in the tournament and one of the two new
additions to the team list. The tournament will culminate
with the final match on Sunday, 24 February. All matches
will take place at the Stanford Cricket Ground in Antigua
and will be televised throughout the region and the world.
