What is a league? Who are the Players? And how
will the matches be played?
Typically a match is between two people or teams.
When there are more than two teams, a league
tournament is held. In a league tournament, the
winner is announced based on the combined results
of these matches. Most often a Round Robin format is
followed in the way matches are played.

The ITPL will also follow a Round Robin
format where on Day 1, Team 1: India, will
play Team 2: Singapore; and Team 3:
Manila will play Team 4: UAE.
Then on Day 2: Singapore will play UAE,
and India will play Manila.
On Day 3: UAE will play India, and Singapore will play Manila.
This way, all the teams will get to play each other. All the 4 Legs of the tournament will follow the same pattern.
