Chicago Trophy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chicago Trophy is a men's soccer (football) tournament which took place for the first time in 2007. The competition included four men's club teams to compete over two days at Soldier Field in Chicago. The tournaments are intended to showcase known clubs from throughout the world, as well as offer clubs popular amongst large, local ethnic communities.

[edit] Format
Each of the tournament's four participating club teams played two matches. In standard FIFA fashion, wins will be awarded three points and draws will obtain one point. The club with the most points after its respective matches wins the Chicago Trophy. The organizers (Platinum One) have also announced that bonus points will be awarded for goals scored, presumably to limit the chances of a drawn finish as well as enhance competition.[1]
