Game duration and points
The game duration and number of poules will be determined and communicated as soon as we know the number of participants.
A match won gives three points, a tie one point. The two best teams from each poule proceed to the semi finals. When the number of points is equal, the number of goals determines (goals made - goals against) who proceeds. When this is equal as well the result between the teams determines the outcome. If that was a tie, a toss decides.
