The 2013 tournament was played from February to May instead of May to July like the previous tournament. It was the only tournament to take place in Botswana for the season, since the 2013 FA Challenge Cup was not played, therefore the winner represented the country in the CAF Confederation Cup. Mogoditshane Fighters was the only debutant in the tournament.
Prize money
The prize money was kept the same for the winners from the 2012 competition, but was increased for the rest of the competitors from the inaugural edition of the cup.[1]
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. Three points were awarded for a win, one point for a draw and none for a loss. Aggregate score was used to determine the winner of a round. Where the aggregate score was equal away goals were used to pick out the victor and if those were equal the tied teams went into a penalty shootout. For the 2012-13 edition there was no quarterfinal draw. The teams were seeded based on their position in the table, with the first placed Mochudi Centre Chiefs facing off against eighth placed Mogoditshane Fighters.[1]
The final pitted Gaborone United against BDF XI at the New Lobatse Stadium. Gaborone United took a 2-0 lead in the second half before BDF XI's goalkeeper was sent off. The substitute goalkeeper saved the penalty, and ten-man BDI XI scored with 12 minutes to play, but down a man could not find an equaliser.[4]
