The wait will soon come to an end as the 2005 BANMI Budweiser Cup is set to unfold this Monday, Aug. 29, at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium.<\/p>\n
This according to BANMI official Elias Rangamar, who said yesterday that eight teams will begin their campaign for the coveted championship title.<\/p>\n
Rangamar said two-time defending champion Toyota is already assured opening their defense of their title on opening night.<\/p>\n
Officials will then conduct a raffle drawing during the opening ceremony to determine who will bang heads with Toyota. The raffle will also determine the evening\u2019s second bout and the schedule for the entire season.<\/p>\n
Rangamar said all teams must be present at the ceremony, which will begin at 6:30pm.<\/p>\n
Two games will be played every Monday and Wednesday, with the first game scheduled for 7pm and the second at 8:30pm.<\/p>\n
Teams will battle through two rounds, meaning each team will battle another twice before the conclusion of the regular season.<\/p>\n
The playoffs will feature a single elimination format, ending with a best-of-three championship series.<\/p>\n
