Season Gauntlet

• League stages — 3 separate league stages, each played over 7 Gameweeks. All Fifties and SeventyFives from those Gameweeks count. The top 10% of scores in a league stage become League Winners and qualify for the Champions Cup.
• Cup stages — 3 separate cup stages, each played over 3 Gameweeks. Cup stages are Fifties only, making every prediction and every Bonus Point crucial. The top 50% of scores each Gameweek progress; the bottom 50% drop out. Survive all three rounds to become a Cup Winner and qualify for the Champions Cup.
• Champions Cup — Gameweek 31 to Gameweek 38. Invite only — qualify by becoming either a League Winner or a Cup Winner earlier in the Season Gauntlet. Both Fifties and SeventyFives count across the eight-Gameweek finale, with eliminations after each block until a final Gameweek decides the winners.

When several players share the same score exactly where the line is drawn - who stays in a cup week, who wins a league phase, or who qualifies for the Gold Cup - the rules favour not leaving people out by accident.

If you are tied on that boundary, you are treated the same as the people just above it. For example, everyone tied at the cutoff can advance or win together. Display order on the table may still differ; that order is only for reading the list, not for changing who gets the award.

Stage titles you see, for example "League Phase 1" or a cup name, can include wording chosen for the season. Sometimes a partner or sponsor name appears next to a stage or round. That is a label for display and does not change how scoring or progression work.
