Last year during the 2nd ‘Nicosia’ water polo cup we had the ‘Sprint Challenge’. Players from each team participated at this challenge and we had a winner after the elimination process. 

This year we will run an ‘One man more/less’ challenge CUP. It is a great opportunity for the teams and coaches to play ‘one man more/less’ playing against other teams, with time and referee. 

The challenge CUP will follow the same schedule as ‘NICOSIA’ water polo cup. Each team will play 20(twenty) ‘one man more’ (after a time out) and 20(twenty)’ one man less’. The team who scores more goals in each game wins’ the game. In case of draw, each team will shoot 3(three) penalties, in case of draw, will shoot 1(one) penalty (different players) each until there is a winning team.  
The team who wins more games win the challenge. In case that two teams have the same number of winning games, the team who won the game between them, has the advantage on the table.  
All NEW FINA water polo rules are apply for the challenge.  
 
*The challenge CUP will follow the same schedule as ‘NICOSIA’ water polo cup. 
**IF ASA qualify for the final, the final will move on 16:30 and the 3rd place final on 18:00 due to their flight departure time.
