The day kicked off with the basketball event that set the tone for all competitors to showcase their athletic abilities in a coordinated game. The events were scored on a points basis with the 1<sup>st <\/sup>positions awarded with 10 points, 8 points, 6 points, and 4 points respectively for the top 4 winners, following the league basis format.<\/p><p>The events comprised of Basketball, Football, Volleyball, Domino, Egg &amp; spoon, Shuttle relay, Sack race and the most anticipated event of the day that had all the banks on edge; the CEO challenge, that saw the Bank of Baroda CEO winning the event with 10 points.<\/p><p>The turnout was tremendous as the events seemed to overlap each other, with officials falling short on keeping up and maintaining records of events. Al Salam Bank cruised through the basketball men event with 1<sup>st<\/sup> position. ABSA came out victorious in the women category. Volleyball had an intense competition as most banks were battle-ready and the day went to ABSA men who outshined the rest. Development Bank of Seychelles (DBS) women took the 10 points with ease as their male colleagues won the football men category event despite the state of the field not being so favorable.<\/p><p>An event that required mental flex, Domino, stood its hype for both the men and women categories. Seychelles Commercial Bank (SCB) men won 1<sup>st<\/sup> position, and in the women category, Seychelles Credit Union (SCU) scooped the 10 points. In the Athletics events, the top banks were DBS, Al Salam Bank, Mauritius Commercial Bank (MCB) and Nouvobanq.<\/p><p>Due to time constraints in completing certain events, the crowning of the overall winners could not be possible as nightfall withheld the ceremony. However, as the adage goes \u201cHard work pays off\u201d, this was Al Salam Bank Seychelles motto from the start of the competition as the bank emerged victorious for the year 2023.<\/p><p>Heartfelt thanks go to the hosting bank, Mauritius Commercial Bank (MCB), participating banks, NSC, and supporters who made this event a grand success.<\/p><p><strong><u>OVERALL
