2001 NIKE U.S. Women's Cup rules

The champion of the 2001 NIKE U.S. Women's Cup will be determined on the basis of points: Three points for a win, one for a tie and zero for a loss. In the event that two or more of the teams are tied on points, the following system will break the tie:

1)             Results of matches between the teams concerned.                       

2)             Goal difference.

3)             Great number of goals scored.                                                                                        

If the teams are still tied, then co-champions will be named. Teams are permitted five substitutes per match, but all seven reserves are available. If a player gets a yellow card caution in the first two matches of the tournament, she will be automatically suspended for the third match. If a player gets a red card in either the first or second match for her team, she is automatically suspended for her team's next match.
