Cup Game

From Hattrick

A Cup Game is a competitive match between two Cup opponents. Cup games occur on Friendly Days, which is on a Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday.

Cup rankings are set before the season starts and are based on end of finish the last season. Teams are ranked starting in the Top Series and working their way down. Criteria for ranking are, in order of use:

• Division Level
• Finish Place within series
• Total Points
• Goal Difference
• Goals For

Rankings for the cup never change during the season. #1 plays the lowest, #2 plays the second lowest, and so on. The lower ranked team plays at home.

67% of the income from cup game ticket sales goes to the home team, and 33% to the away team. Every Country in Hattrick has a Cup, and most countries give the opportunity for teams from every league level to earn a cup spot, though usually teams in the bottom division have to make a strong finish the previous season. When you lose a cup match, you are eliminated from the cup for that season. Users that are participating in the National Cup are unable to schedule a Friendly.

Cup matches never end in a tie. A penalty shootout automatically ensues if the teams are tied after regular time. A cup match is not a Friendly with cup rules.
