The reigning champions of the Soccar Cup have an automatic qualification to Sunday’s tournament, should they wish to enter. If not, there will be one extra qualifying slot available.
The possible qualifying methods are:
- Swiss system tournament (with Buchholz system used for tiebreaker), to determine the top 7 (or 8) teams qualifying for the main tournament.
- A group stage with 4 groups, from which 7 (or 8) teams qualify for the main tournament.
- Double knockout qualification, with the upper bracket and losers bracket qualifying for the main tournament, from which 7 (or 8) teams qualify for the main tournament.
Qualifying games will consist of two halves, each of them 3 minutes long.
The main tournament on Sunday will be played out as a knockout tournament, consisting of quarter-finals, semi-finals, a third-place playoff (consisting of the two losing teams from the semi-finals), and the grand final match. The quarter-finals, semi-finals and third-place playoff will consist of two halves, each 5 minutes long. The final will consist of 6 minute halves. If a winner is not decided after full time in each game, an overtime match, with 3 minute halves is played to determine the winner of the game. If there is no winner after the 6 minute overtime, we will play for a golden goal.
Entering the tournament
There is no limit to the number of teams entering the tournament. Each team consists of 4 players. It is possible to sign up as an individual, a pair, a team of 3 or a full team of 4. If you sign up as an individual, you will be assigned to a team that has a vacancy.
For the 2023 tournament, you and your team have the option to fully customise your team identity. If you choose not to create your own team identity, the tournament organisers will assign one to you.
Teams customising their own identities will choose one colour for their “home” kit, and one colour for their “away” kit. They will use these colours in the qualifying tournament and during the main tournament if they qualify. These colours must be the base-colours of the liveries the team will use for the tournament. Different shades are permitted as long as it remains obvious which colour the team is representing. Available colours are:
- Red: R (Hex: #FF0000)
- Lime Green: G (Hex: #00FF00)
- Yellow: Y (Hex: #FFFF00)
- Blue: B (Hex: #0000FF)
- Magenta: M (Hex: #FF00FF)
- Cyan: C (Hex: #00FFFF)
- White: W (Hex: #FFFFFF)
- Black: K (Hex: #000000)
Teams who choose not to customise their team kits can use skins from the skinpack that will be provided ahead of qualifying.
Teams can provide a logo in PNG format that must be at least 512px*512px in diameter. The logo can be placed on team kits and will be displayed on the broadcast graphics.
The name format for the event is as follows:
"[X] Name" where X is the colour of your team from the above list. For example, for the red team: [R] Name (^1[R] ^7Name). You will be instructed whether to play in your home or away colours before your match begins.
