Format:
ROUND 1 – Preliminary Round (three games)
*A SPREAD system is used in the Preliminary Round games, to help equalize each matchups. ‘Covering the spread’ will earn a team a bonus point to be used in the Qualification Round standings.
ROUND 2 – Qualification Round (five games)
(teams are grouped with the five other teams in their tier who finished in the same rank following the Preliminary Round
(once the Qualification Round is complete, the final standings divide teams into twelve different BOWL brackets of four teams)
ROUND 3 – BOWL BRACKET
Each team plays one Semi-Final game - losing teams are eliminated, winning teams will play in a final BOWL GAME.
- Players can play on a maximum of ONE team in the FPF Cup
- Captains do not select a division like they do in Winter or Spring, the teams are sorted by FPF, depending on cap totals (sum of offense and defense). You set your own cap for the duration of the tournament. (e.g. if your team has a cap of 790 [400 offence, 390 defence], you cannot surpass 790.0 for the entire tournament. You can add new players after you start the tournament, but must always respect your cap. The same goes for every team and their respective cap.)
