*****PW Boards Fantasy Cup 2017*****
The draw for the 2017 Fantasy Cup has been completed, and I've also done a draw to determine the fixtures, and so now it's time to reveal to you which group you have ended up in, and who you will be facing in your first match this upcoming week!
paulie21 won the tournament last year
The Cup ties will take place every second week, in addition to the league game we've been playing.
How it works: you 16 players have been drawn to compete against one another in 4 groups: A, B, C and D. The group winners and second-placed teams qualify for the quarter-finals.
Further below you will find what will hopefully be a useful Q&A about the Cup.
Here are the groups...Groups and Fixtures

Draw Fallout
Last year's Cup champ paulie21 begins his defence in a group with a familiar rival in Bounty Hunter, as well as two new opponents in Necrominus and Lithium_93.
In Group B, beakerjoe and Cheese Wagstaff, who also met in the group stages last year are joined by two new competitors in Mr. Guappa and Lord TSC.
In Group C, 2015 Cup Winner LeeJM finds himself in the same group as Gaw_ , as was the case last year, with Kankan14 now joining them, along with a new entrant, montyrebel.
The final group, Group D, sees last year's League Champ daithi1989 facing off against three new players to the game in lycan238, KayJay86 and Ruat Caelum.
The new entrants to the game have really freshened things up and I'm looking forward to seeing how these groups play out. There's always some fun surprises in these games.
Some Q & A on the Cup...Will this Cup game affect the league game that has been running up to now?
No, the league is separate and will continue to run each week. This Cup game is in addition to that game and it will run every second week.Will we have to pick two squads for the Cup and the League?
No. The seven-person squad you submit each week will be used for both the League AND the Cup on Cup weeks.How are the matches decided?
The player with the most points from his squad wins the tie and gains 3 points. If it's a draw, then both players share one point. There's nothing for a loss.How is qualification from the groups determined?
Qualification shall be determined in the following ways:
- The player with the most points from the group games advances.
- In the event that players share the same group points, then the player with the highest overall score from his seven-person squad advances.
- In the event that both players share the same overall scores from their squads, then the head-to-head record determines who advances.
- In the event that the head-to-head record fails to settle it, then the player with the best score from his captaincy choices throughout the group shall advance.
- In the unlikely event that all of the above fails to settle it, then a special one-off tie will determine who advances.How will the quarter-finals operate?
The quarter-finals will be seeded with each group winner being the top seeds. Those who met in the group stages will be kept apart for the Q-F draw.
Both the quarter-finals and the semi-finals will be two-legged affairs, whereas in the group stages you'll play each other just once.
I hope that clears up any questions you may have. If not, feel free to ask away.
Those who haven't yet submitted a squad for this week have up until the start of Monday Night Raw to do so.
Good Luck
Best of luck to you in your match-ups. It will hopefully make Raw and Smackdown even more interesting to follow. Here is a reminder of the matches ahead this week:Gameweek #3 Cup Ties

Raw has finished and so now it's time to assess how things stand in the game. This week marks the first week of Cup ties and below you will find out how you are faring in your ties at the halfway point of the gameweek, and below that the current state of the league table. Read on for the latest...
*Note - Raw spoilers below. Do not read further if you do not want news of Raw.*PW Fantasy Cup (Latest Scores)Group A
Necrominus 16 - 8 Bounty Hunter
paulie21 6 - 11 Lithium_93
Group B

Group D

daithi1989 16 - 6 Ruat Caelum
With Smackdown to come, we're effectively at half-time in these ties and while some players have already sealed wins, for others the tie will be decided based on what happens on tonight's show.
As you can see the highest score for Raw went to Lord TSC with an excellent score of 20 points. His gutsy call to stick the captaincy on Enzo paid off handsomely, and a Dean Ambrose win also helped his score.
daithi1989, Necrominus and myself shared the second highest score with 16 points.
The average score for Raw was 11 points.
Now let us see what the scores for Raw mean for the league standings...Gameweek 3 Standings (Post-Raw)

League Fallout
There's been plenty of interesting developments following Raw. The big story is that there is a new man on top as last year's champ daithi1989 takes first place, although it remains very tight up there.
Lord TSC is another big climber, jumping up to mid-table after his impressive score from Raw.
It will be interesting to see if Smackdown has a significant effect on the table with scores so close.Raw results.
Jeff Hardy won a 15-man Battle Royal that featured Curt Hawkins, Kalisto, Big Show, R-Truth, Goldust, Apollo Crews, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Finn Balor, Curtis Axel, Bo Dallas, Elias and Jason Jordan.
Enzo Amore defeated Noam Dar.
Cesaro defeated Seth Rollins.
Dean Ambrose defeated Sheamus.
Emma defeated Mickie James.
John Cena and Roman Reigns defeated Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.
Alexa Bliss defeated Sasha Banks to win the Raw Women's Title
Emma picked up a win and appeared to debut a new theme. She is a Lower Tier option and doesn't appear in any squads currently. Will you be tempted to transfer her in for next week?
In other news Enzo did well for those who put their faith in him.
Samoa Joe according to reports suffered an injury and will miss a short number of weeks. It might be a good idea for those who have him to transfer him out.Want to join in?
The game may be under way but new players are always welcome. Places for the Cup are now closed but the league is still open and there will be further tournaments in future, such as the tag team tournament, so sign up now to get involved.
That concludes the Raw update. Over to Smackdown to finish off the week.
NOTE - I will be away on Wednesday so I will be aiming to post the Smackdown update on Thursday.0 -
Hand on heart, I picked Enzo cause I momentarily forgot 205 Live doesn't count
But I figured with his move to the CW division, and the fact he seems to be a title contender, they'd have to give him a win over a CWer on Raw to make sense of the title shot.0 -
With Smackdown finished, we find ourselves at the end of Gameweek 3. This was quite a busy show with plenty of matches, and it had a dramatic effect on the cup ties and our league table.
Below you will first find the scores for Smackdown, what they meant for the cup ties, and finally the current standings. Read on for the latest...*Note - Smackdown spoilers below. Do not read further if you do not want news of Smackdown.*Smackdown scores

Smackdown Fallout
It's paulie21 that has the best night from Smackdown. His captaincy choice of Shelton Benjamin came good, and Bobby Roode also picked up a win. Rusev also provided an appearance point.
The second highest scores went to Bounty Hunter and Cheese Wagstaff. BH scored strongly via wins from his captain Chad Gable and Shinsuke Nakamura, while Cheese Wagstaff got a strong score courtesy of his captain Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Roode winning.
The average score for Smackdown was 8 points.
Now it's time to see what those scores meant for the results of the cup ties, as we discover which players started with an opening win.Gameweek #3 Cup Ties (Results)

Cup Fallout
It was an exciting conclusion to Group A's ties as both Bounty Hunter and paulie21 recovered from deficits following Raw to win their ties.
In Group B, Lord TSC and Mr. Guappa are able to hold on to their leads to secure impressive opening wins, and as their group shows, there is nothing between them currently.
In Group C, Gaw_ records an eye-catching win while Kankan14 is able to come back from behind to get his first victory.
In Group D, lycan238, having been behind following Raw, roars back to take a great win. daithi1989 is also able to record a triumph despite being run close at the end.
Remember that the top two in each group advance to the quarter-finals, so for those players who recorded wins the pressure is eased somewhat; but for those who recorded losses, the next tie in the group becomes vital.
The next cup games will take place in two weeks.
Now let us see what Smackdown's scores meant for our standings...Gameweek 3 Standings

League Fallout
I thought this might be the first week paulie21 loses his grip at the top but his great Smackdown score means he climbs right back to first place. He has been on top at the end of every gameweek so far. Well done to him. The competition at the top remains fierce though with Gaw_ and Mr. Guappa tied for second place and just a point behind.
There's quite a bit of movement further down the table too, with lycan238 and Cheese Wagstaff among the more noticeable climbers.Smackdown results
Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable defeated The Ascension.
AJ Styles defeated Tye Dillinger.
Bobby Roode defeated Mike Kanellis.
Aiden English defeated Sami Zayn.
The Usos defeated Big E and Kofi.
Tamina defeated local competitor.
Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton defeated Jinder Mahal and Rusev.
Randy Orton reminded us of his value this week with a big win. Somewhat surprisingly he doesn't feature in any side currently. Are you tempted to bring him in for next week?
On to Gameweek #4...
Deadline
The deadline for Gameweek 4 will be before the start of Monday Night Raw.
Transfers and Captaincy
You can now make up to 2 transfers to your squad if you wish. These must be from the same tier. For example, a Main Event Tier performer for a Main Event Tier performer; an Upper Tier performer for an Upper Tier performer.
Please outline who you are transferring out and transferring in when posting your squads to make it easier for me to follow.
Once a team has been posted that team will be final and no edits will be allowed (unless there are exceptional circumstance, i.e. a wrestler gets legit hurt, or they are suspended).
Don't forget to choose a captain who will score you double points.
Want to join in?
The game may be under way but new players are always welcome. Places for the Cup are now closed but the league is still open and there will be further tournaments in future, such as the tag team tournament, so sign up now to get involved.
Good luck for the week ahead folks as our attention returns to the league. Gameweek #4 is now open for business.0 -

Seth and Jordon out, Miz and Naka in, with Miz as my captain. A lot of people seem to be going with Jeff Hardy as the winner of their match, so I'm taking the risk and backing Miz instead 0 -
