The A-League Pre-Season Challenge Cup competition was an annual football tournament held for all Hyundai A-League clubs in July and August in the lead up to the start of the A-League season. The competition featured a group stage and a knockout stage. Commentators did not give much weight to the competition as a guide for performance during the season proper, as injuries or club strategic policy ruled that many teams did not use their best players and often used experimental tactics. The Pre-Season Cup was removed from 2009-10's A-League schedule in order to give the clubs more control over their own pre-season training. ==Format== In the Pre-Season Cup, the teams were evenly placed into two groups. Each team played the others in the group once over three rounds. Beginning in 2006, an additional bonus round was then held, with each team playing a cross-over match with a team from a different group. In addition to the standard points (3 for a win, 1 for a draw), there were special bonus points on offer for the bonus round matches: * 1 bonus point for 2 goals scored by a team, * 2 bonus points for 3 goals scored by a team, or * 3 bonus points for 4 or more goals scored by a team. * 4 bonus points for scoring 5 goals by a player. This format was edited for the 2007 competition. The bonus round was removed, and the bonus points system introduced into each of the first three rounds. All eight teams then entered a knock-out round, culminating in the final in late August. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A-League Pre-Season Challenge Cup」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
