The 2017 edition was the first competitive fixture in English football to trial the ABBA penalty shoot-out system, provided scores were level after 90 minutes.[3] The format is similar to a tiebreak in tennis, and is designed "to prevent the team going second from having to play catch-up."[4] Unlike a traditional penalty shoot-out, which sees Team A and Team B alternate spot-kicks in an ABAB pattern, the ABBA format follows an 'AB BA AB BA' order.[3]
