In both competitions, 12 teams play in 40-minute matches divided into two parts, with some of the traditional soccer rules but with important innovations such as the following.
If it ends in a tie, the match is resolved with a round of five penalties for each team in which a player faces the goalkeeper from midfield in a ‘one on one’ game and has five seconds to score a goal. Only if the goalkeeper touches the ball, the penalty is considered stopped.
For the kick-off, each team stands in their goal and after the whistle, the players run for the ball to get it first.
The yellow card implies the expulsion of the player for two minutes and the red one for five minutes.
Each team has several cards and they randomly choose one in each match that gives them an advantage, such as taking a penalty, taking a rival player off the field for two minutes, stealing the card from the opposing team, doubling the value of their goals during two minutes and use a joker to change the card they have been dealt.
Each game also includes a surprise novelty.
Teams can invite one player on each day. Ronaldinho, Javier Saviola, Chicharito Hernández and Kun Agüero have been some of those who have played in the first season.
The referees carry a camera and a microphone, which allows them to share their point of view and comments with the spectators.
