Track and field to introduce prize money at Olympics

The move, announced on Wednesday 10 April, is a symbolic break with the amateur part of the Olympics in some of the games’ most-watched events.

K32, 000 prize money for softball club champs

The original prize money for the championships was K22, 000 given by major sponsor, PNG Power.

But this increased by another K10, 000 thanks to the support from State Enterprises Minister and Member for Hagen Open, William Duma.

President of the PNG Softball Federation, Ralph Tarasomo this morning explained the break up of the prize money.

First place: K7,000, Second place: K5,000, Third place: K2, 500 and Fourth place: K1, 500.

He said the break up amount for the different placings is the same for both the men's and women's.
