Format [

There is no predetermined 🧲 format for the competition, changing almost every
year.
The 2001 edition became notorious as "one of the most discriminatory sports
championships 🧲 ever". Organisers controversially excluded all players with what was
perceived as unattractive qualities such as being over 23 years old, 🧲 having short hair
or dark skin.[1]
In 2004, the competition was contested by 32 teams, divided into eight
groups of four 🧲 teams each. The two best placed teams of each group qualified for the
second round, contested by 16 teams divided 🧲 into four groups composed of four teams
each. Again, the two best placed teams qualified for the third round, contested 🧲 between
eight teams, divided into two groups of four teams each. The two best teams of each
group qualified for 🧲 the fourth round, which was composed of a single group of four
teams. The first two teams of this group 🧲 qualified for the final. The competition was
contested in single leg matches.
In 2005, the competition was contested by 16 teams,
🧲 divided into four groups of four teams each, playing against each other once. The two
best teams of each group 🧲 qualified for the next round. The teams eliminated in the
first round played relegation playoffs, over two legs. The second 🧲 round consisted of
two groups of four teams each, playing in two leg matches. Each group's two best placed
teams 🧲 qualified for the third round, which was semifinal matches over two legs. The
winners of these matches qualified for the 🧲 final, which was played as a single
match.
