The four team mini tournaments are always hosted by one of the four teams and all matches take place on the same ground. This happens because a lot of the teams that enter at this stage are not wealthy and cutting down travel and accommodation costs is essential for their participation. Given Boreham Wood were relegated from the National League last season and have lost revenue as a result, they were keen to host the mini-tournament and that works well for Arsenal too.
