Meanwhile, tournament coordinator Rawle Gittens, stated that the competition has opted to utilize a random draw for the competing teams at the conclusion of every round to ensure unpredictability and to prevent and remove any suspicion of bias towards competing teams.
Gittens explained, “This was done to eliminate any form of suspicion by the teams and to ensure fairness. In this method, no one is favoured and the teams can’t raise issues or state that there is any form of tampering going on. They will be a random draw after every round right up until the end of the tournament. The draw for this round occurred at the Banks DIH lunch room in Linden.”
