For those with short memory, and the new guys - here are the Cup rules:
As announced, we’ll be starting with the cup competition next week.
It will be a single game h2h duel, the winner will progress to the next round.
In each cup week we will have 2 cup rounds, each round consisting of 5 questions and a tie-breaker question.
You will receive questions in advance for both weekly rounds of the Cup and if you lose in the 1st, the answers you gave for the 2nd won’t even be looked at.
If the result is a draw after the first 5 questions, the tie-breaker comes into play. It will consist of 8 bets on the same game and will be like regular penalties. Only the first 5 choices will be looked at, and if it is still a tie after these 5, one per one bet will be checked until the winner is found.
If there is no winner even after 8 penalties, the player that submitted earlier will be the winner.
The 1st cup round will usually last from Tuesday till Friday and the 2nd one from Friday till Sunday.
In case some teams need to be free in the 1st round of the Cup, it will always be those teams best placed on the current tables, starting from Division 1.
There will be no seeded players at any point, meaning that a 1st Div player can draw a 1st Div player in any of the future rounds.
During the Cup no weekly freebets will be given.
I submitted early, usually I don't do this, but earlier submission was actually the deciding factor once or twice already - and there's nothing to wait for in this round.
