History The 2013 tournament was played from November to March instead of February to May like the previous tournament. It was also the first tournament to span two calendar years. It was the only tournament to take place in Botswana for the season, since the 2014 FA Challenge Cup was not played, therefore the winner represented the country in the CAF Confederation Cup. There were no debutants in this edition of the Mascom Top 8 Cup. Prize money The prize money was kept the same from the 2013 competition. Champions: P1 000 000 Runners up: P400 000 Semifinalists: P200 000 Quarterfinalists: P125 000 Format The quarterfinals and semifinals were played over two legs both home and away, with only one final in a predetermined venue.
