First organised by Ajax on the occasion of the celebrations of 700 Years Amsterdam 1275-1975, and since held annually each summer until 1992 (Amsterdam-717). After an interruption resumed in 1999. Since then, it uses an unusual points system. Apart from the (currently) usual 3 points for a win and 1 for a draw, an additional point are awarded for each goal scored, so a 3-3 draw yields 4 points for both teams, as much as a 1-0 win. The idea is to encourage more attacking football.
