History

The 2016–17 Mascom Top 8 Cup was the only domestic tournament played in Botswana since the FA Cup was not contested. The winner qualified to represent Botswana in the 2018 CAF Confederation Cup. This honour was won by Jwaneng Galaxy.

  • Champions: P1 200 000
  • Runners up: P550 000
  • Semifinalists: P300 000
  • Quarterfinalists: P170 000

Format

[edit]

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. There was no quarterfinal draw. The teams were seeded based on their position in the table, with the first placed team facing off against the eighth placed team.
