It's unofficial U-20 Eurocup consisting of European nations teams (36 in total) playing for nothing but fun.
The tournament was created to bring more fun in playing national teams friendlies during breaks in the official [[U20 World Cup]] tournament. The first matches of this tournament were played on March 30, 2007.

The tournament consists of 2 group rounds and playoffs. First 2 rounds were held during break between [[U20 World Cup]] qualification round and Round II. Playoffs were played during break between [[U20 World Cup]] Round II and Round III.

In the first round all 36 teams played divided by 6 in each of 6 groups. 2 best teams of each of the groups advanced to the next round.

The tournament is organized by [[User:Pirats|Pirats]] (U-20 Belarus coach) and [[User:Brujas|Brujas]] (U-20 België coach).

==Main rules==

'''Round I''' started on March 30, 2007. 36 teams were divided in 6 groups and there were 5 matches for each team in the group. Top 2 teams from each group qualified for '''Round II'''. 

'''Round II''' started on May 4, 2007. 12 teams created 3 groups with 4 teams in each. Each team in the group played 3 matches. Each group winner and the best 2nd place team qualified for '''Playoffs'''.

'''Playoffs''' started on June 8, 2007 and all matches were played on a neutral ground - Malta (so called host country).

The playoffs schedule:
* Semifinal matches were played on June 8, 2007.
* U20 Eurocup final match was played on June 15, 2007


'''Tiebreakers'''

For '''Round I''' and '''Round II''' final standings as usual were decided by points and goal difference.
If 2 or more teams would get the same amount of points and would have the same goal difference, average TSI of the teams would decide the standings. Team with lower average TSI would be the winner in this situation.

For '''Playoffs''', if it's a draw at the end of the match, average TSI of 11 players, who started the match, was the tiebreaker. Team with the lower average TSI should be the winner.
