# Main leagues
Each EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge team is automatically registered in three leagues:
* **General league:** includes all the fantasy teams registered in EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge.
* **Favorite Team league:** includes all the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge teams that have chosen the same favorite basketball team.
* **Country league:** includes all the teams belonging to the same nation
And from this season, all users can participate in the new **Trophy Cup** competition.
**What it is the Trophy Cup.** It's special **head-to-head (H2H)** competition that runs alongside the Main rankings. It’s created after the season has started and it **will begin on Round 6, including the top 128,000 teams** in the Global ranking.
#### Groups phase
The first phase of the Trophy Cup is a a group phase, where the first 128,000 teams of the Global ranking are **randomly drawn into 8,000 groups of 16**. A full round-robin schedule is generated at creation. From **Round 6 to Round 20**, every round is one H2H fixture; the team with **more fantasy points in that round** wins the game. Group standings are ordered by **W–L record**, then by **fantasy points accumulated in Trophy Cup rounds**.
At the end of Round 20, the **top two** from each group plus the **384 best third-placed teams** across all groups (ranked by W–L, then Trophy-Cup points) **qualify** for Knockout (total **16,384** teams). All others are eliminated from the Cup.
#### Knockout phase
There is **one pause round** after Groups. Knockout then starts **on Round 22** and proceeds as **single-elimination with random pairings each Round** (no fixed bracket). In every tie, whoever scores **more fantasy points in that Round** advances. If still tied, the team with the **better overall Global Championship ranking** advances (the platform’s standard tie-break applies and, if needed, implicitly considers registration date).
And this goes on until the final game in which two teams will compete for the win!
