The two-day district level Badminton premier league of Jharkhand will be hosted by the East Singhbhum District Badminton Association (ESDBA) under the aegis of Jharkhand Badminton Association (JBA) from December 30 at Mohan Ahuja Indoor Stadium here.
Top ranking shuttlers of the state would be among the 45 vying for the prize money tournament, said ESDBA president Rajiv Sen Gupta.
Addressing a press conference here, Sen Gupta, accompanied by the JBA secretary K Prabhakar Rao, said four teams - Vinayak Shuttlers, Relax Saamshers, Jamshedpur Warriors and Neelachal Masters - would take part in the competition.
The winners would bag a prize of Rs 30,000, while the runners up would get Rs 15,000, they said adding, the competition would be played in league-cum-knock out basis.
