Six teams qualified for the second round of the annual tournament.
Joining Kich Fairo and Black Magic in the next round are the defending champions Mwaliyas, Watch & Learn, the Dublon Chiefs and Da Lani Kynez.
The six teams will be playing in a round-robin playoff with each squad having five games.
The top four teams after the round-robin playoffs will advance to the semifinals.
In the semis, the No. 1 team meets the No. 4 squad, while the No. 2 team is paired with the No. 3 squad.
The semifinals will be a best-of-three affair with the winners moving into the championship round, which will have a best-of-five format.
Ten teams competed in this year’s tournament with the Ballers, Bwi Bwiis, 670’s Finest and the Caropinos getting their exit slips last month after losing three times in the first round.
