CUP
Entry
into the Fantasy Cup is optional, and is open to teams also entered

entering the League.

the same time as the League entry fee.

winner of the Fantasy Cup will receive 30% of the Cup entry fees.
The runner-up will receive 20% of the Cup entry fees.
How
It Works
A
certain number of Saturdays throughout the season will be designated
“Fantasy Cup Days”. On these days, each team entered in the Cup
will ‘play’ against another team. The points gained by those teams’
players on the day (usual Fantasy points scoring rules apply) will
determine which team goes through to the next round. The draw for
the first round (and a preliminary round if necessary) will be made
when all the entries are in. Thereafter, the draw for each round
will be made after the completion of the previous round.
If
a Fantasy Cup match is ‘drawn’, i.e. if the two opposing teams score
equal points on the day, the match will be replayed the following
weekend. The dates of the Fantasy Cup Days will be confirmed when
all entries are in.
N.B.
The Fantasy League will continue to operate as normal on Fantasy
Cup Days. The Cup has no bearing on League points/standings.
