National squad players will be drafted evenly across the four teams with an HKCA U/19 player also provided to each franchise.

Hong Kong Marketing and Commercial Director Max Abbott is facilitating the auction and said interest had been high since the competition was announced.

"We've had a really good response so we are confident the Blitz can be a success," Abbott said.

"There has been interest from all over the world, I think people can see the potential of this tournament given it is the first of its kind in the region."

"It's exciting that we are only a week away from being able to announce the four teams that will play."

The four teams will play each other once, with the final scheduled for 2.45pm on Sunday 29th of May.
