The tournament officially started with a motorcade from Cebu City Hall Grounds passing through South Road Properties, Barangay Mambaling, F. Llamas Street both in Barangays Punta Princesa and Tisa until the end of the route at Labangon Elementary School in Barangay Labangon.

Each team is composed of 17 members and three coaches in the mixed category. The winning team will be awarded medals, a trophy, and a P10,000-cash prize.

Converge, together with other leading sponsors, will also be awarding special awards and raffling off items for the players throughout the tournament.
