The teams are split into groups of 4-5 teams with each team meeting each other. The second round will operate on a knock out basis. The first and second ranked teams from the first rounds will play in the second round A, while the remaining teams will play in the second round B. Finals in the 7-aside classes will be played on Friday, as well as the A finals in classes B 13, G 19 and G 17. All other finals will be played on Saturday. In 11-aside, 3 players at a time born August 1-December 31st of the previous year can participate in any one game. In 7 v 7, only two players may participate in any one game. There are no other dispensations for age groups after the start of the tournament. Each team can maximum use 5 substitutes in the 11 a side classes. In the 7 a side classes - B 12, B 11 and G 13 - you can use as many substitutes as you wish.
