He said that the results of the evaluation made the University of Pelita Harapan as the host decide to add an interlocked court as well as adequate padding using the plexipave cushion system.

"The safety, comfort, and experience of student athletes remain the top priority. This decision also takes into account the readiness of teams from various regions who have prepared travel plans, accommodations, and competition needs," he said.
