Challenge
Format
The "Challenge" will be played in a format similar to the Davis Cup, in tennis. Each team will play two matches and score points for their country. A victory yields three points, a tie one point, and an extra point is awarded for the winner in penalty shootouts. The country with the most points wins the competition. The first tiebreaking criteria will be goal difference, followed by goals scored.[3]
