Overview
Group Cup competition is a tournament introduced from season 16 that allows managers to compete in head to head battles with other managers of their group, based on the results in races of the regular season.
Structure
The Cup competition follows a knock out format consisting of 6 rounds.
- The first 32 managers in the season standings after Race 2 will take part in cup competition (this is considered stage 1). The initial pairing after Race 2 will be done as follows: the first 8 of the season standings after Race 2 will be seeded like in any common knockout system whereas all others will be randomly assigned.
- Each of the next stages of cup consist of 3 races: 1/16 (races 3-5), 1/8 (races 6-8), 1/4 (races 9-11), 1/2 (races 12-14), cup final (races 15-17).
- To win a stage a manager has to beat his opponent in at least 2 of the 3 races included in the stage and will then advance to the next stage of the cup.
- If two rivals have 1 win each and both miss one race the winner will be the one who has higher season standings position.
- If both managers miss 3 races then nobody will go further in the cup net. Their potential opponent won't have a rival on the next stage.
Seedings and Draw
The players in the top 8 places in season standings table after race 2 are seeded 1 through to 8 according to their positions and are allocated a quarter of the draw to themselves such that:
- Seed 1 and 2 cannot meet each other until finals
- Seeds 1 and 4 and Seeds 2 and 3 cannot meet each other until semi finals
- Seeds 1 and 8, Seeds 2 and 7, Seeds 3 and 6 and Seeds 4 and 5 cannot meet each other until quarter finals
All other draws are made randomly
Prize money
For each cup stage win a small financial bonus is awarded. The amount of the bonus depends on the class the manager is racing in:
| Division | Prize Money |
|---|---|
| Elite | $1,000,000 per stage |
| Master | $900.000 per stage |
| Pro | $800.000 per stage |
| Amateur | $700.000 per stage |
| Rookie | $600.000 per stage |
