Mr. Hakh also mentioned that like last year a corporation’s zone will be formed to encourage teams from private businesses, ministries, corporations to participate. Last year the Ministry of Health placed 5th overall in the competition and also carted off the prize for the best performing corporation team. The first and second place teams among every six corporation teams will be guaranteed a place in the playoffs.
Also, a zone for all female teams is still being mulled.
The playoffs among qualifying teams will commence on the afternoon of Friday November 15, 2013 and the competition will conclude with the final being played on Sunday, November 17, 2013. Playoff matches and the final will be played at the National Gymnasium.
