Cup rewards

A cup does not pay only the winner. Money comes for reaching the bracket, for every round you win, for every match and for tickets at home games.

Stage prizes add up: the winner gets the entry prize, the quarter-final and semi-final wins and the winner's prize. The exact table is in the "Stage prizes" block on the cup page, before you enter. Cups in one cycle differ: some are modest, others more generous. The higher the rank, the bigger all money rewards.

All payouts appear in the Finance log: "Prize money", "Match reward" and "Match" (tickets).

Prizes are always full, match rewards of the next cups are reduced

Cup prizes — the entry prize, stage prizes and the winner's prize — always pay in full, however many cups the club plays in a day.

The match reward and home tickets work differently: a club's first cup of the day (UTC) pays them in full, and each next cup on the same day pays half of the previous one — the second half, the third a quarter, and so on.

  • Experience and glory are not reduced.
  • The cup's number for the day is counted by the start time of the cups the club plays in. All match rewards and tickets of one cup use the same multiplier.

Rating and reputation

Every cup match changes the club rating: beating a stronger opponent raises it more, losing to a weaker one lowers it more. A cup win adds reputation and a loss takes a little away; in higher ranks reputation grows faster. The rank's cup champion also gets a separate reputation bonus.

Bots and rewards

Match rewards and tickets go only to players' clubs, and in rank I–III cups prizes do too. Your reward for beating a bot is the same as for beating a player's club.

Butcer for cups

Rank I–V cups give no butcer. Only champions of the top-rank cups (VI and VII) get a small butcer bonus. There are no other ways to earn butcer in the game — not for achievements, quests or the season.
