From 1995 to 2000, the tournament was disputed in single-elimination. Since 2001, it's followed the
FIFA World Cup formula of 3 groups (named M, T and V after the network) followed by single-elimination semifinalsfinals. The only exception was 2006, with only two groups.The games occur in
São Paulo Athletic Club ,São Paulo , except for 2000, when it happened inRio de Janeiro . But the hosts say that the games happen in the small town ofBirigui , SP, in the "Birigui Sports Arena".Until 2002, the teams were chosen by the musicians themselves, but in that year the bands were sorted into teams. The names were also free to choose, before the ready names from 2003 on (in 2003, random names: the finals were Papas Fritas -
french fries x Gafanhotos - locusts; in 2004, animal names: Aranhas Negras - black spiders- vs. Tamanduás - anteaters - finals; in 2005, diseases: Resfriados - colds- vs. Diabéticos; in 2006, fictional nations: Luxemburgo x Pirulândia; and in 2007, parodies of real clubs: Horríver Prata - River Plate - x Milanesa -A.C.
