Key dates
Before you register
Do we need to be from Iligan?
Open to all players. Priority goes to residents of Iligan City and Lanao del Norte.
What device do we need?
Your own mobile device. Bring your charger — charging stations are provided at the venue for the live finals.
What if we can't attend the live finals?
Only the top four teams appear in person on September 17. Everything before that is played online from wherever you are.
Is there an age requirement?
No minimum age. Players 17 and under submit a signed parental or guardian consent form with their registration.
How do we pay?
Payment details and instructions are included in the registration form.
What happens if it rains?
The Plaza has a permanent covered area. The stage, players, and production equipment all sit under cover, so matches carry on through rain.
Can we swap players later?
Substitutes must be on your roster at registration. Rosters lock August 31 — no additions after that date.
