1. General Rules

 

• Before the tournament, each team captain draws 5 Skill Cards. These 5 cards are the team's shared card pool for all 5 group-stage games.

​

• Each team can use a maximum of 3 Skill Cards per game. Once a card is used, it must be handed to the referee and is permanently discarded. It cannot be used again in the current or any future game.

​

• The same Skill Card cannot be used more than once in a single game.

​

• Skill Cards can only be activated when your team has possession of the ball and the ball is out of play. The captain must signal the referee to activate a card. Cards cannot be activated during live play or when the other team has possession during a stoppage.

​

• A Skill Card takes effect as soon as the referee announces it.

​

• Only one Skill Card can be active at a time. Neither team can activate a new card while another card is still active. Wait until the current card's effect has completely ended, then activate your next card during a stoppage when your team has possession.

​

• The team captain makes the final decision on when to use a Skill Card. Once the captain announces the card, the decision cannot be taken back or canceled.

​

• Skill Cards are only available during the group stage. No Skill Cards can be used in the semifinals, finals, or any other knockout-stage games.
