This year’s tournament will feature four Utah Royals players: Ally Sentnor and Mandy McGlynn for the USWNT, Mina Tanaka for Japan, and Ana María Guzmán for Colombia. The competition will follow a six-game, three matchday format, with the champion determined by the total points accumulated in a round-robin format.
