Win all competitions but lose the Cup

 It is possible for a sports house to win all matches but lose the Nobel Cup altogether, as the number of points pooled from each match will determine the winner of Nobel Cup. 

Take for example, scores from a futsal match:

In the competition, Bullseye has won all of their games against their opponents, but however, the combined larger scores earned by Touchdown, Homerun and Slamdunk, despite winning only one match each, were able to pool the largest number of points. This means that it is possible for a team to lose all the games but win the Nobel Cup, and vice versa. Hence, despite Bullseye having the highest number of games won, they still lost the Nobel Cup with the least points.  

This is the result of the round-robin formatting used for Nobel Cup.

Before 2016, the Nobel Cup games for basketball, futsal, netball and badminton use an elimination format, which allowed Bullseye to easily win the Nobel Cups in 2014 and 2015. 

In 2019, Bullseye won half of the tournaments, but still lost Nobel Cup to Slamdunk thanks to the high number of points gained by Slamdunk in netball and chess.
