According to the updated competition regulations, the teams had to hold joint meetings between the groups before the decisive fights for prizes. And if the players of the National Police did not leave chances to their counterpart from the UAF (4: 1), then the real sensation was created by the representatives of the Prosecutor General's Office, who did not let last year's winner of the tournament - the SFS team (3: 2).
