🏆2025 GDS Cup
What is the GDS Cup?
The GDS Cup is a head-to-head, survivor-style fantasy competition where coaches select a new squad each week. The losers of each round are eliminated, and the last remaining coach wins the cup! Each week, winners from the previous round will have their fixtures randomised.
Competition Details:
Format: The 2025 GDS Cup follows traditional survivor fantasy rules.
Competition Type: All squads must adhere to Classic COMPETITION squad rules.
Participants: A total of 128 coaches will compete. (Top 128 after round 5 qualify)
Fixtures: Each round's matchups are randomised.
Number of weeks: The competition spans 7 weeks, starting 20th September 2025
How to Enter: As the coach, you don't need to do anything besides set your Classic Competition squads each round! From there GDS will create the fixtures and provide updates after each round for who is progressing, and who has been knocked out.
How to Play
As a coach, your only task is to set your Classic Competition squads each week! GDS will handle the rest, creating the fixtures and providing updates after each week on who is advancing and who has been eliminated.
Coaches progress through the GDS Cup via head-to-head matchups in each week. The loser of each fixture is eliminated, while the winner advances to the next week. This continues until only one coach remains!
Example of match progression:
Week 1: ✅ 912 vs 830
Week 2: ✅ 899 vs 890
Week 3: ✅ 934 vs 910
Week 4: 900 vs 803 ❌ (Eliminated)
If you win your matchup, you move on. If you lose, you're out!
It is important to note: In the case of a draw, higher seasonal score will be the tiebreaker.
