Qualifiers and semi-finals: Participating teams are assigned to virtual markets, where the teams in the same market will compete against each other. Based on the criteria given in the simulation, the first place in the market must be obtained by the end of the 4th decision round. The first-placed teams in each market advance to the semi-finals. 

Simulation final: The market winning teams from the semi-final advance to the final where 5 teams participate.
