The tournament gathered nearly 100 players who are journalists, reporters, editors, and collaborators from press agencies operating in the Mekong Delta region, along with sponsors competing in the spirit of solidarity and professional sports . The special feature of the tournament is the free carom doubles competition format, with a random draw between the two press agencies, creating both fairness and surprise and excitement for each match.

According to the organizers, the spirit of fair play is more important than the results of the tournament. This is a meeting place for press agencies, helping to strengthen relationships, creating conditions for sharing professional experiences and supporting each other at work. The tournament also aims to promote the sports training movement in the media industry, which is often under high pressure, to improve the health, spirit and endurance of journalists.
