Replacement Teams
As the tournament progresses and teams are defeated, there are three opportunities to add replacement teams to your original Lucky 13.
But, there's a catch! It will cost you a few of your hard earned points.
You will have two replacements available for the second round and another one available for the third round. Once the opportunities expire, you can no longer use them to add teams.

What's the best strategy to win your league? Add teams? Or, keep all of your points and play with your original Lucky 13?
Use the replacement opportunities wisely (if at all).
1st REPLACEMENT: costs 2 pts.
2nd REPLACEMENT: costs 2 pts.
3rd REPLACEMENT: costs 3 pts.
Good luck!
