The UW Cup tournament will begin on Week 18 of the MFLS season and will conclude in a Cup Final on week 26. This tournament consists solely of single elimination matches. Seeding throughout the tournament will be based upon MFLS point standings at the end of Week 17. In case of a tie in the league table, the most recent weekly result (week 17) will be used to determine seeding.
Tournament Seeding (Divisions)
Note - Any MFLS scoring corrections that take place during head to head cup competitions will be used only if they are made 24 hours before the MFLS deadline for the following week's rosters. Changes made after the deadline can not be used to change the outcome of a match.
The Tie Breaker for all rounds will be total MFLS points for the season. The team with the higher MFLS points will win the tie. If this does not resolve the tie, then the most recent week's score will be used. If necessary, preceding weeks will be used until the tie is broken.
