The League Cup

How it works

1. 1Seeded on the Cup RatingAll 10 teams are in, not the standings. The top six skip round one.
2. 2One round a weekYour real score that week is your Cup score. Outscore your Cup opponent to move on, whoever you play in the league. A tie goes to the higher seed.
3. 3Pick who wins each gameEvery manager in the Cup picks every game, knocked out or not. Tap the team you think wins; picks lock Thursday night.
4. 4Nothing to sign up forYour week counts on its own. Just set your lineup.
