2003 EW Cup
The UW Cup tournament will begin on Week 23 of the EPL season and will conclude in a Cup Final on week 38.  This tournament consists of single elimination matches with replays for matches that result in a draw.  Seeding throughout the tournament will be based upon Yahoo point standings at the end of Week 22.  In case of a tie in the league table, the most recent weekly result (week 22) will be used to determine seeding.

Tournament Seeding (Divisions)

Note on Yahoo scoring corrections:  Any scoring changes that take place during head to head cup competitions will be used only if they are made before the Yahoo deadline for the following week's rosters.  Changes made after the deadline can not be used to change the outcome of a match.

What constitutes a win? - For purposes of this tournament, a team must outscore its opponent by at least 10 Yahoo points in order to move onto the next round.  If neither team has a winning margin (10 points), the match will be replayed in the week specified in these rules.  If no team has a winning margin (10 points) in the replay, the winner will be the one with the higher aggregate score for the two matches played.  In the unlikely event that the aggregate score results in an exact tie, the team with the higher total Yahoo points on the season will advance.
