Challenge

Format

The "Challenge" will be played in a format similar to the Davis Cup, in tennis. Each team will play two matches and score points for their country. A victory yields three points, a tie one point, and an extra point is awarded for the winner in penalty shootouts. The country with the most points wins the competition. The first tiebreaking criteria will be goal difference, followed by goals scored.[3]

gollark: No, I was only considering the CB ones.
gollark: 72 quadrillion dragons: Quite Hard to Get™.
gollark: Okay, probably a bit before then, but it would take a while.
gollark: With eggslots considered, you might just be able to get all 72.1 Pdragons (petadragons) before the last stars go out.
gollark: At that point, the Sun's life will have been over, and DC will probably not be around.
