The pre-season tournament involves the top six clubs in Iceland from the previous season of Besta deild kvenna.[citation needed] It generally takes place between February and May.
Format
editThe six teams are placed in one group, and each team plays each other once during the pool stage. The final positions of the group are determined after these five matches are played, and the top four in the group advance to the semifinal stage.[citation needed] From the semifinal stage, the competition becomes a single-leg knockout competition. If a match is not decided in 90 minutes, a penalty shoot-out determines the result.
