Doubts Revealed
Subroto Cup -: The Subroto Cup is a famous football tournament in India for school teams. It is named after Air Marshal Subroto Mukerjee.
Overage Players -: Overage players are players who are older than the age limit set for the tournament. In this case, the players were too old to play in the Sub-Junior category.
Skeletal Age Estimation Test -: This is a test used to determine the age of a person by looking at their bones. It helps to check if players are the right age for the tournament.
Army Public School, Bhopal -: This is a school in Bhopal, a city in India. They had a team in the Subroto Cup.
Sanjeevan Vidyalaya, Kolhapur -: This is a school in Kolhapur, another city in India. They also had a team in the Subroto Cup.
Null and Void -: This means that the matches played by these teams do not count anymore. It’s like they never happened.
