This was the first Xistera Tournament of the year, replacing last year's Interjai competition. It was set up as a single elimination knock out tournament with two semi-finalists seeded in. Because of that, it was possible for a losing team to get into the third place match. Teams played anywhere from 1 to 3 matches. The Final and 3rd place match were filmed by Xistera Kluba Youtube. There is no video for the other matches.
Note: All match articles are available in Castilian and Basque. Language toggle is at the top right of each page. I have linked to Castilian (Use Google Translate).
The players:
Antxon Alberdi-Aratz Mendizabal Goixerri (most likely listed as Aratz Mendizabal under Group 1 backs) (seeded into semi-finals)
Bixente Gonzalez-Manci (not listed but possibly Mikel Manzisidor under Group 1 backs) (seeded into semi-finals)
Jokin Arbe-Danel Mandiola
Aarón Gonzalez-Unai Uranga
