The second one is Challenge Cup and is played by the previous seasons second placed teams and by the national cup winners. In case the winner of the national cup is already in Champions or Challenge Cup, the second placed team in the national cup gets into the Challenge Cup. In the case when both (first and second) teams in the national cup, are also the first and the second teams in the league, the third placed team in the league gets to play in the Challenge Cup. All competitions have only one, knock-out round. Games are played on neutral ground.

National Team Competitions
National team competitions span thrugh 2 seasons. The first
season, teams compete to qualify for the world cup. The second season, teams that qualified, compete
with others for the title of World Champions.
Youth Competition
Youth League
Youth teams compete in the same division as their senior counterparts. This means that if the senior squad
gets relegated the youth squad gets "relegated" too and if the senior squad gets promoted the youth squad
gets "promoted" as well. This however does not mean that there is a difference if a youth team
competes in one of 4th divisions or if it competes in the 1st or 2nd divisions. From the competition
point of view it's all the same, only the name changes.
Youth league is important to the youth players for one reason - game experience. A youth player can earn up
to 100 points of experience while playing youth games. Youth league is also important from the managers
point of view because (besides the experience, of course) players can get a bonus point on their rating
due to their greater "fame" (people/managers/scouts have a chance to notice them).
Rules
- A youth player is a player that is no more than 18 years old
- Youth league has 11 match-days
- Games are played without any home advantage
- Tickets to youth league matches are free of charge
- Loaned players cannot play in a youth team
