The top four teams after the seven-game series will advance to the step-the-ladder finals where the champion will receive P7,000 while the next three placers will claim P5,000, P4,000 and P3,000, respectively. They will also receive trophies.
Cash prizes will also be awarded to the highest individual average titlist, highest individual and doubles scorers and masters game winners.
