THE Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup will hold its second conference to close out the year from Nov. 20 to Dec. 19 at the Pagadian City Gymnasium.
Seven teams from Mindanao are competing, led by defending Southern champions Basilan-BRT Peace Riders.
Completing the field are the MisOr Kuyamis, Iligan Archangels, Kapatagan Buffalos, Pagadian Explorers, Roxas Vanguards, and the Zamboanga Sibugay Anak Mindanao Warriors.
For league Chief Operating Officer Rocky Chan, ending the year with a tournament for the south’s basketball players is their way of giving livelihood to the players before Christmas.
“After taking a few months off, we are excited to start again so we can provide livelihoods to our players, coaches, and the people in Pagadian,” said Chan. “We definitely want to end the year right with this tournament.”
The rest of the member teams from Visayas took a leave of absence for the meantime but vowed to return for the 2022 season.
The tournament will have a double round robin elimination round with the top team automatically gaining a semis berth. The semifinals will be a knockout game while the championship series will be a best-of-three battle.
Meanwhile, the Games and Amusements Board held an online meeting with the team owners and representatives of the clubs that will compete in the 2021 Chooks-to-Go Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League Invitational Tournament set on Dec. 11-23 last Wednesday.
