Format & Competition Changes
The Cup has changed formats several times over the years. Earlier versions used a carnival-style tournament where all teams played at one venue. The current round-robin system replaced this approach and gives teams home advantage.
Each team will play every other team twice, according to the round-robin format of play. And instead of having progression of quarter and semi finals, there will be a direct final based on which team scores the most points.
This current set of rules and format has been the same since 2019.
