8.11.002 World Championships mode

If a match ends in a draw in the rounds from the quarterfinals to the semifinals, a penalty shoot-out will decide the match.

If the match for 3rd place or the final ends in a draw, extra time will be played, followed by a penalty shoot-out if the match is still tied after extra time.
