Group winners and runners-up play in semi-finals and finals.
The winner of the cup earns a spot in the play-off round of the UEFA Europa League, and also plays in the Turkish Super Cup against the Süper Lig champions.
The final match is an exception, where runners-up receive less than cup winners.
A sum of $10,500,000 worth prize money is awarded to participating teams.
As an honour of the tournament, the cup winner club wears a roundel of the Turkish flag in the next footballing season.
