This exciting tournament has some unusual and entertaining rules. Each game will be played between two teams of six players each and each team will get to play 3 matches and earn 2 points on each win. The action packed game will comprise of 5 overs per inning to be played with green MRI balls. To give each player an opportunity to bat, the batsman must retire 'not out' on reaching a personal score of 31 runs, but may not retire before reaching 31 runs. If five wickets fall before 5 overs are completed, the last remaining batsman will bat on with the 5th out batsman acting as a runner. Underarm bowling is completely prohibited. Each team will comprise of 2 players between the ages of 30 ' 40 and 4 players over the age of 40.

Though the concept of "Super Sixes' is quite popular internationally, the uniqueness and novelty of the "Goa Super Sixes' is that it involves India's biggest corporate honchos coming together on the idyllic beaches of Goa over a period of 3 days to celebrate the popular sport of cricket and engage in a friendly yet competitive bout of games to vie for the coveted Championship title.

Said Harindra Singh, Vice-Chairman & Managing Director, Percept Limited, "Goa Super Sixes is a great corporate getaway that offers a fantastic networking opportunity for Business Leaders to take some time off to indulge in their all favourite sport of cricket and party in one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world. It's become bigger and better, and in its 3rd Season we have 2 international teams joining in and adding to the flavour. Currently the 3-day format of Goa Super Sixes limits the participation to 8 teams, but seeing the growing demand and popularity of the property, we plan to change the format in Season 4 to accommodate more teams from India and overseas to participate in the tournament."
