Shangri-La Cup

The Shangri-La Cup is the main tournament of the -League. The Cup is contested along side the league competition. Every team is entered into the competition. They are randomly paired into 4 groups of four. Each side plays a home and away round robin against the teams in their group. The top side in each group advances to the semifinals. The semifinal matches are randomly drawn, and proceed in home and away fashion. Unlike most tournaments, neither away goals or penalties are used to break ties. The first tie breaker is shots on goal and the second tie breaker is time of possession. Should possession be equal, which has never happened in the history of the cup, the number of cards and then number of fouls are examined and the team with fewer wins. Should all of these methods fail to produce a winner their will be a single replay match. The final is a single game applying the same tiebreakers.
