Final decisions on fantasy points are determined by FantasyGo in consultation with Stats Perform, and are subject to adjustment.

Note that players will score points based on their assigned FantasyGo position.

### <mark style="color:red;">Captaincy</mark>

* You must assign a Captain and a Vice-Captain for your Fantasy Rugby team.
* Your Captain’s final score will be multiplied by 2.&#x20;
* Your Vice-Captain’s final score will be multiplied by 1.5.
* **Zero and negative scores will also be multiplied.**

### <mark style="color:red;">Captaincy Substitutions</mark>

* Captains and Vice-Captains who play but finish with a score of 0 or lower **will not be replaced**.
* **If your Captain does not play:** Your Vice-Captain will become your new Captain and the cheapest player in your team will become your new Vice-Captain.
* **If your Vice-Captain does not play:** The cheapest player in your team will become your new Vice-Captain.
* **If both your Captain and Vice-Captain do not play:** The second cheapest player in your team will become your new Captain and the cheapest player in your team will become your new Vice-Captain.
  * If two or more players are tied as the cheapest player, the one with fewer total points will be selected.
* In the case of an "unlimited budget" contest, where players have no set prices, lowest overall scores prior the start of the contest will be used to determine your Captain and Vice-Captain replacements.
  * If two or more potential replacements are tied on overall points, the Captain / Vice-Captain will be randomly selected between them.

### <mark style="color:red;">Team Budgets and Player Prices</mark>

You will have a budget of 100.0 to pick your Fantasy Rugby team.

Player prices are determined by FantasyGo, based on ability, expected popularity and recent form. Player prices may change throughout the season but not while a contest is in progress.
