MBABANE – As the voting exercise gains momentum, at least 25 teams qualify to get the E10 000 incentive.
According to the MoMo Cup Rules and Regulations, each team that will reach 10 000 votes will take home an amount of E10 000. At least 25 teams had reached the set target at the time of compiling this report. However, at the end of the voting exercise, a maximum of 22 teams can get the incentive as per the rules. The top six will not be entitled to the incentive, as they will get participation fee for qualifying for either the MoMo Cup play-offs or the semi-finals. The best two voting sides will automatically qualify for the semi-finals. Only the bottom three teams, which include the likes of Milling Hot Spurs, Seven Dreams and Tambuti, had not qualified for the E10 000 incentive yesterday.
