League stage

[edit]

The league stage consists of eight teams with each team playing against any three of the seven other teams only. These teams are pre-seeded into two groups and the placement matches are decided via their positions in those respective groups. Aside from regular match and scoring system, a penalty shootout is held after each match, irrespective of the regular match. The winner of the penalty shootout gets an additional bonus point in their points table.
