Softball clubs threaten boycott

The clubs said the costs for preparing for the tournament are high compared to the prize money on offer. Winners in both the men's and women's sections will get P20,000, while P15,000 has been reserved for the runners-up. Teams that finish third will get P10,000 while number four receives P7,500.

Teams in position five will get P6,500, P6,000 is for number six, while those in positions seven and eight receive P5,000. Tati Bulls, Motlakase, Diphofu, Raptures, and Sua Raiders are the teams reportedly considering a boycott. Orelibile Robert of Diphofu said they have decided not to take part in the eliminations. “Everything was going well until we realised that going to the eliminations is going to cost us a lot. We have decided not to take part in the eliminations. For us to travel from Tonota to Orapa, our budget stands at P8,000,” he said.
