“Matagal na naming naisip ito. Alam naman natin na buhay pa rin ang pusong manlalaro, lalo sa basketball. Alam namin na nandun pa rin yung kagustuhan na makipag-compete at subukan pa rin ang kanilang galing. Madami kaming mga kilalang mga dating player na hanggang ngayon ay patuloy pa rin na nag-papawis at nag-eesayo,” said Sinag Liga Lakas Kwarenta chief operating officer Leo Isaac
“Sinubukan namin na mag-imbita at nagulat kami sa response ng maraming kakilala na willing silang sumali. So, nabuo itong Sinag Lakas Kwarenta through the connections ng mga iba’t ibang players, especially si commissioner Rodney Santos na active pa rin hanggang ngayon sa paglalaro at talagang nakapag buo ng mga koponan para lumahok sa ating Sinag Liga Lakas Kwarenta,” added Isaac.
The tournament’s format promises to keep fans at the edge of their seats.
Teams will engage in a single round-robin competition within their respective groups, setting the stage for intense battles.
The top team from Bracket A will clash with the eighth-ranked team from Bracket B in the quarterfinals.
“Napag-usapan namin, dalawang grupo. SO A and B tig-walo and then single round each group walang matatapon. walang mga out after elimination. So top four each group yong top one ng A makakalaban ang number eight sa kabilang grupo that team be the group B,” said commissioner Santos
As the competition unfolds, the stakes will continue to rise. The tournament will reach its climax with the quarterfinals, semifinals, and the championship, which will be decided through a gripping best-of-three games format.
