Sixes Brain Storm – Win a Pair of Sixes Tickets!

Sixes organisers are looking at a number of new ideas and features to raise the excitement bar for this year's 15th Hong Kong Cricket Sixes tournament.

“The Hong Kong Sixes has always been at the cutting edge of innovation in world cricket . For example we were one of the first cricket tournaments in the world to have live ball-by-ball internet coverage at the 1996 Sixes. The Sixes was also the first pro tournament to have batsmen crossing on the field to speed the action up, which is now a feature in T20,” said Tournament Director Mark Burns. “We're looking at several innovations for this year including a special Sixes 'Umpire Decision Review System' and the possibility of a new qualifying knock-out tournament on the Friday,” Mark said.

“Whatever we do, the focus is always on enhancing the entertainment and excitement for Sixes fans at the ground and on TV around the world. We don't have a monopoly on ideas and welcome input to the Sixes Brainstorm from fans with exciting innovations they would like to see at the Sixes” he continued.

Hong Kong Sixes fans can contribute ideas to the Brainstorm by emailing ideas@hkcricketsixes.com Send your ideas in by 30th June 2009 and if your idea is implemented you could receive a pair of tickets to this year's Sixes and see your idea in action for free!
