This year’s edition of the tournament, which has a long tradition, was held on 14 January 2018 in the school sports halls in Brzeźnik and Bożejowice. Eight teams competing in two groups took part in the battle for the championship title.
After the group stage in Bożejowice, the Bożejowice and Mirko/Jawa teams advanced to the next part of the competition, finishing ahead of Bart-Music, last year’s winner, and Bobry Kraszowice. Meanwhile, in Brzeźnik, debutants Salman Team and the well-known team from Osiecznica secured promotion to the next stage. BTS Masters, the tournament’s second finalist last year, and the firefighters from KP PSP in Bolesławiec ended their campaign in the group stage.
After a long break to rest and relocate the teams from Brzeźnik to Bożejowice, the semifinal matches were played. Mirko/Jawa and Salman Team met in the first one. Following a hard-fought three-set match, Mirko/Jawa won. In the second match, Bożejowice faced Osiecznica. The confidently playing hosts gave their opponents no chance, thus advancing to the grand final.
Osiecznica and Salman Team met again in the third-place match. After a very long and fiercely contested match that ended in a tiebreak, the debutants from Salman Team secured the victory. In the grand final, Bożejowice and Mirko/Jawa faced each other for the second time that day. As in the group match, the hosts from Bożejowice won, also claiming the championship title.
