Group Phase
The game will be divided in two phases. First one is a single round-robin tournament. Points are awarded for each game, with competitors ranked based on total number of points. Teams are divided into x groups, according to the number of participants. Also, the x best teams placed in the previous year are randomly distributed as seeded heads of each of the groups, with the other teams being drawn. The top 16 will qualify for the next round. If there is a tie in points, the tiebreaker criteria are goal difference, goals in favor and direct confrontation
16 Double Elimination Phase
The second phase is a double-elimination tournament, which is a type of elimination tournament competition in which a participant ceases to be eligible to win the tournament's championship upon having lost two games. As the standard double-elimination bracket arrangement is being used, then each round of the Losers (L) Bracket is conducted in two stages; a minor stage followed by a major stage. Both contain the same number of matches which is the same again as the number of matches in the corresponding round of the Winners (W) Bracket. The championship finals of a double elimination tournament is usually set up to be a possible two games. The rationale is that since the tournament is indeed double elimination, it is unfair to have the W Bracket champion eliminated with its first loss. Therefore, while the W Bracket champion needs to beat the L Bracket champion only once to win the tournament, the L Bracket champion must beat the Winners' Bracket champion twice.
