winner of the Fantasy Cup will receive 30% of the Cup entry
fees. The runner-up will receive 20% of the Cup entry fees.
The prizes will be rounded up to the next pound.
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.
