The competition will conclude on August 30 with the winner pocketing $100,000 and the second place team taking home $60,000. The third place team will take home $40,000. Trophies and medals will be awarded to the top three clubs while trophies will be presented to the MVP, Best Uniformed Team and Most Disciplined Team.
