The competition begins with a preliminary group stage, in which the teams are divided into groups of 4 or 5 participants. In this phase, each team faces its rivals in a single leg match, determining its classification to the next phase of the tournament.
The final phase is structured into three levels: MADCUP GOLD, SILVER and BRONZE. The top two teams in each group will play in MADCUP GOLD, while the teams ranked third and fourth will go into MADCUP SILVER. Teams finishing in fifth place will compete in MADCUP BRONZE. All matches in this phase are played in a knock-out format. The duration of the matches will vary according to the category: two halves of 20 minutes in F7, two halves of 25 minutes in F11 and two halves of 30 minutes in the U19 category.
