A semifinal berth will ensure the teams of at least R1000.
The tournament carries a total purse of R10000, with the winners pocketing R3500, a floating trophy and medals. The runners-up will receive R2500 and medals and the losing semifinalists R1000 each.
In the first match of the day, Premier League champions Kabah United Brothers will take on City Style, who finished in second spot.
