2007 A-League Pre-season Challenge Cup


The 2007 A-League Pre-season Challenge Cup competition was held in July and August in the lead-up to the start of the A-League 2007-08 season. The opening round started on 14 July 2007. The competition featured a group stage, with three regular rounds, followed by a two-week finals playoff.
In previous years, the Pre-season Cup was used to enhance the A-League's profiles by playing pre-season games in regional centres. In 2007 venues included Sunshine Coast, Launceston, Canberra, Port Macquarie, Darwin, Orange and Geelong.
The group stage had a bonus point system. One point was awarded for 2 goals in a match, two points for 3 and three points for 4 or more goals in a match.
If two or more teams were level on points accumulated, the following criteria would be applied, in order, until one of the teams was determined as the higher ranked:
  1. highest goal difference;
  2. highest number of goals scored;
  3. result of the match played between the teams concerned;
  4. highest number of bonus points accumulated;
  5. lowest number of red cards accumulated;
  6. lowest number of yellow cards accumulated;
  7. toss of a coin.
The finals series was held over two weekends – 3 to 5 August, and 10 to 12 August.
