THE Sultan's Cup started out with 15 teams but only the elite survived.

Just six teams separated into two groups remain for the second round of the annual tournament, scheduled to tip off today at the Brunei Basketball Association court in Batu Bersurat.

Group A is made up of the defending champions, the national team playing under the banner of Easyway, together with SYSB and Wisdom Jade Daycare Wildcats.

Welflex Engineering, SGTB Dragons and MK Primo Jaya are in Group B.
