An encore of 33rd edition

A commonly said phrase - The more things change, the more they stay the same. When one checks the team event standings of the 35th edition, they will find that the top three finishers are exactly the same as the 33rd edition. Integral Coach Factory is the champion, Eastern Railway runner-up and Metro Railway Kolkata second runner-up. Even the top two teams have the exact same score, win, draw and loss count as a team. Only thing different is, this time Metro score 1 match point less. Nevertheless, it did not matter much as Metro still managed to secure third place. Individual event's report will be published in a separate article.
