One-Night Fantasy Challenge

Sharpen your pencils and break out your calculators — the keystone events of the Tin Cup Series are our One-Night Fantasy Challenges!  Five times throughout the 2017-18 season you’ll be challenged to build a team of 6 players to win the night.  The top 10 teams in each challenge win points.  What’s so challenging about that?  It’s not called CAPWI$E for nothing — your 6 players must be within a salary cap of $20 million!  CLICK HERE TO ENTER

Players

You pick 6 players: 2 forwards, 2 defensemen, and 2 goalies.

Salary Cap

The AAV of those 5 players must come in under a salary cap of $20 million.

Scoring

Your players will be scored in a simplified version of our Capwise categories.  After the night’s games, all participating GMs will be ranked using the same method as the CHA Trophy Standings — the best team in a given category will get 70 points (there are 70 GMs), while the worst team will get 1 point.  The GM with the most total points wins that night’s Challenge, and earns 15 Tin Cup Points!

Scoring categories are different for each of the 5 challenges:

Challenge #1 (10/7/17): Goals, Assists, and PIM for skaters, and Wins and Saves for goalies.
