2006 Pre-Season Cup will involve two pools of four teams (Pool A: Adelaide United FC,
Melbourne Victory FC, Central Coast Mariners FC & Perth Glory; Pool B: Newcastle Jets FC,

teams in their pool once over 3 rounds. A fourth “Bonus Round: of matches will involve a cross

(3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), however, with the additional inclusion
of goal related bonus points per team are as follows: 1 bonus point for 2 goals scored by a
team, 2 bonus points for 3 goals scored by a team & 3 bonus points for 4 or more goals scored

two matches with the winner presented the 2006 Pre-Season Cup.
2006 PRE-SEASON CUP SUMMARY
The 2006 Pre-Season Cup Draw is based around a Group Stage and cross pool “Bonus Round” followed
by a Playoff and Finals phase to determine the result of the 2006 Pre-Season Cup.
Each team will have two (2) ‘home’ matches, with designated clubs allocated one (1) fixture to be played
in a regional area throughout Australia or New Zealand. Some clubs may opt for additional regional
fixtures.
A cross Group ‘Bonus Round’ has been inserted after the first three (3) Group rounds and before the
Playoffs commence. This round will give teams that are hovering mid-table a chance to secure valuable
extra points and lift themselves up their pool ladder and challenge for Playoff rankings.
The Tournament will provide each club with six (6) matches in total providing quality match time leading
into the Hyundai A-League 2006-07 Season commencing 25 August 2006.
The eight ( Hyundai A-League clubs have been divided into two (2) groups comprising four (4) teams
each as follows:
Group A Group B
Adelaide United FC Central Coast Mariners FC
Melbourne Victory FC New Zealand Knights FC
Newcastle Jets FC Queensland Roar FC
Perth Glory FC Sydney FC
Competition Format – Group Phase
In this phase of the Pre-Season Cup, teams will play all other teams in their Group once. Each team will
have a minimum of one (1) home (or where advised by the club, regional) match in this phase.
The following points will be awarded for matches in the group phase:
Ø 3 points for a win;

inclusion of goal related bonus points per team are as follows:
Ø 1 bonus point for 2 goals scored by a team
Ø 2 bonus points for 3 goals scored by a team
Ø 3 bonus points for 4 or more goals scored team

ó Result → CCM 3 def. Perth Glory 2
ó CCM would receive 3 points for the win + 2 bonus points for scoring 3 goals = 5 points total
