POINTS SYSTEM
Teams will be awarded 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw/tie and no points for a loss.
Top 2 teams from each zone will advance to the knockout round; teams will then be seeded from number 1 to number 8.
KNOCKOUT STAGE
To qualify for the knockout stage, it is possible that two teams may be tied on points. If this is so, standard FIFA rules will apply.
If games are tied in knockout stage, we will proceed immediately to penalties. There will be 3 penalty kicks per team. If score is still tied, we will proceed to “sudden death”
penalty kicks.
