No, there was no typo. And no, no Indian sporting cause could get better.
The Sports Coaching Foundation is organising the Day-Night Inter-Slum Junior Hockey Tournament, at the SCF grounds in Masab Tank, from 6th to 8th July.

The matches will start at 3:30pm, and the format is knockout, with the 1st team playing the 2nd, the 3rd team playing the 4th, the 5th playing the 6th and the 7th playing the 8th. The winners of these matches will play the semifinals on 7th July, and the subsequent winners play the final on 8th July.
Each match lasts 30 minutes, divided into two halves of 15 minutes with a 5-minute break in between. The winners and the runners-up will be given trophies.
The Sports Coaching Foundation has been organising this tournament for the last 4 years, providing an opportunity to the poor children of slum areas to display their talent. There is no entry or registration fee.
