== Season conclusion ==

The event concluded the 1402 league season. Singo's published results image distinguished the men's round podium from the aggregate championship podium: Datis Tehran finished first overall, Persian Gulf One second and Spad Mashhad third.[2]

Contemporary reporting gave their final totals as 393, 339 and 267 points respectively. These were season totals rather than fourth-round match scores.[2][4]

Young Journalists Club reported Singo Elite as the women's league champion with 377 points, followed by Belona Rasht with 315 and Singo Persian Gulf with 215.[3]

== National-team selection ==

The men's results report announced that leading competitors would be invited to a national-team camp in Bandar Abbas beginning on 30 December (9 Dey). The subsequent Gilan report confirmed that the camp took place from 9 to 11 Dey 1402, corresponding to 30 December 2023–1 January 2024.[4][5]

== Contemporary coverage ==

Singo published a results graphic containing the men's fourth-round top four and overall season top three. Contemporary coverage also appeared through Young Journalists Club and Khabar Varzeshi Hormozgan.[2][3][4]
