There will be no toss. The team that is called out first chooses the goal, the other team takes the kick-off.

4. Scoring

Half a competition will be played. The winner will be the team with the highest number of points.
If multiple teams in one pool finish with the same number of points, then:

- the winner will be decided by the mutual result, otherwise

- by the team with the highest number of scored goals, otherwise

- by the goal differential.

If the above does not lead to a definite decision, penalties (*) will be taken.

In all matches that require a winner, penalties (*) will be taken if the score is a tie, in order to obtain a winning team. Therefore, there will be no prolongations, except for the final. This will be prolonged by 2 periods of 5 minutes.

* Penalties:

- Penalties must be taken by 5 different players who were participating to the game at the end of the match. If, at the end of this range, no decision has been reached, the penalty kicks will be continued by players who have not taken a penalty yet; players will shoot alternately. A player cannot take a penalty kick for the second time unless all the players, including the goalkeeper, have taken their turn.

- Substitutes are excluded.

A player can only be replaced when the play is stopped and with the referee's permission.

The clubs are asked to bring extra shirts.

7. Disciplinary sanctions

- a player who receives a yellow card, will be excluded from the match for 5 minutes

- a second yellow card leads to a red card and exclusion from the rest of the match and the first match thereafter
