What's not to like? (It's being tested in the current U17 European Championship, which starts next week.)As it stands, teams take turns in a shootout, with the choice of who goes first decided by a coin toss.

The new system is called 'ABBA' and sees team A followed by team B - before team B goes again. Team A would then get two successive penalties, and so on until there is a winner.
A coin will still be tossed to decide who goes first.
