In extramural tournaments the teams participate outside the boundary walls of the institutions. They are:
(a) Friendly Matches: These are arranged with the neighbouring institutions/clubs for training purposes. These matches help to look into weaknesses and take the remedial measures. These also provide competition experience. These are fixed beforehand with the understanding of both the teams and institutions.
(b) Closed competition: These tournaments have limited participants,e.g.,competition in each zone separately. CBSE north zone, etc. or Inter-school competition.
(c) Open competition: It is not restricted. In open competition any body can participate through their respective affiliated units. Any institute, department or private agency can participate. For example, state and national championships.
