4. Competition format

Pool games 12 years and younger
In the age groups where play-offs are allowed, the games are played according to the Swedish Football Association's regulations without a final winner. In the first group stage, the teams are divided into four or five-team groups where everyone meets everyone. After that, a new draw is made where the teams are drawn into new groups and meet new teams.

4.1 Group games 13-16 years old

The teams are divided into groups where everyone plays against each other in a single series, followed by a playoff for everyone. The first and second place in each group go to the A playoff. The third, fourth and fifth place go to the B playoff.
The order of the teams is decided by points. A win is 3 points, a draw is 1 point, and a loss is 0 points.

The teams' placement after the group stage is determined by the following:
1. Number of points.
2. Goal difference.
3. Most goals scored.
4. Mutual meeting.
5. Draw.
(WO = 2-0)

4.2 Playoffs 13-16 years

All teams advance from the group stage to the A or B play-offs. If they lose in the play-offs, the team is eliminated from the tournament but then plays 1-2 placement matches. All teams are guaranteed 5-6 matches during the tournament. Luxcuper cannot be held responsible if teams fail to participate or drop out during the tournament.
In the event of a draw, a penalty shootout is used in accordance with FIFA regulations. Each team takes 3 penalty kicks in turn, each with different players. If the score is still tied, the teams continue to take penalties, one penalty kick at a time with new players until a decision is made. Each penalty kick is taken by a different player and all players eligible to participate in the penalty shootout must take a penalty kick before any player may take a second penalty kick. Rebounds are not permitted in a penalty shootout. A ball that hits the goalpost and is on its way away from the goal is counted as a miss, as is a goalkeeping save.

11 vs 11 1 x 35 min.
9 against 9 1 x 35min.
7 vs 7 2 x 20 min
