Chris Wells, the Table Tennis Coach affiliated with the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports, is one of the tournament coordinators.

According to Wells the districts competing in the Under 13 category are Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8. These districts have held their internal tournaments and festivals to select their teams, while Districts 5 and 7 did not participate in this selection process.

The tournament format will consist of four groups, each containing three teams. The best two teams from each group will advance to the quarter-finals, followed by the semi-finals and finals.

On Friday, January 31, the players will return to the same venue to compete in the Singles Tournament, which will also start at 10:00 a.m.

The Tournament Director has confirmed that each of the six participating districts will have two male and two female teams.
