The Pup Cup Tournament Rules
The Pup Cup Tournament Rules
Underdog contests are governed by our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and the rules listed below. Entrants into Underdog contests compete to accumulate points based on athletes' statistical performance in sporting events. Contest results are determined by the total points accumulated by each individual lineup entry according to the relevant scoring rules.
General Contest Information
General Contest Information
Entrants select players through a snake draft. In a snake draft, the pick order is reversed each round. In other words, the entrant with the first pick in round 1, will have the last pick in round 2 and the first pick in round 3.
Entrants are required to pay an entry fee of $10 per entry to enter The Pup Cup (the "Tournament").
The tournament has a total prize pool of $200,000.
Entry to the Tournament will be closed prior to the 1st tee off of the 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship. This means that the Tournament closure time would move, if the timing of the first tee were to change for any reason.
Entrants draft a team of players who accumulate points throughout the duration of the contest period.
Once entrants draft, their rosters are set—there are no waivers, substitutions, or trades during the contest period.
At the end of each Fedex Cup Playoff event, Underdog automatically selects the entrant's highest scoring players at the designated positions to be “starters” and only those players' statistics over that week are counted towards the entrant's accumulated score. This means entrants do not need to set their lineups.
Entrants compete in groups ("Groups") over the course of multiple rounds ("Rounds").
The Tournament will have 3 Rounds, with the first Round consisting of 6-person groups, the second Round consisting of 10-person groups, the final Round consisting of a single 375-person group.
The Tournament will consist of 22,500 total entries and in the first Round, a total of 3,750 6-person Groups.
At the end of Round 1, the top one (1) performing entries in each Group will advance to Round 2 and be awarded a prize (as described below). Round 2 will consist of 3,750 entries in 375 10-person Groups.
At the end of Round 2, the top one (1) performing entry from each Group will advance to Round 3 and be awarded a prize (as described below). Round 3 will consist of 375 entries in a single 375-person Group.
At the end of Round 3, the top one (1) performing entry from the Group will be the Grand Prize winner and prizes will be awarded to all entries in Round 3 (as described below).
