TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE
All teams will play their first games in a group system, most likely to be groups of three to four teams, where each team will play each other with the top team of each group advancing to the next stage of the Rale Rasic Joeys Mini World Cup and the second, third or fourth-placed teams advancing to a different level of the cup structure. In the end, there will be finals and playoffs in the Rale Rasic Joeys Mini World Cup, the Inverell Shield, the Inverell Plate and the Inverell Challenge Cup. This will guarantee all competing teams a final or a playoff for third and fourth place,
