CW Bar Cup - Season 6

[Jamee999]

With 52 teams to accomodate in Season 6(16 Academy + 36 Main = 52 Total) IMO the CW Bar cup needs a rethink.

Here is my proprosal:

Round 1 16 Academy: 8 teams through

Round 2 8 Academy: 4 teams through

Round 3 4 Academy: 2 teams through

Round 4 Division 6 teams in: 8 teams: 4 through

Round 5 4 teams: 2 through

Round 6 Rest of the WCC in: 32 teams: 16 through

Round 7 16 teams: 8 through

Quarter Finals 8 teams : 4 through

Semi Finals 4 teams: 2 through

Final 2 teams: Champion decided.

I know what you're thinking: 10 weeks! But if you do it after every 4D round, on a Wednesday. then you have 10 weeks there, and you can put the Final on a seperate week.

What do you think?

Model 2 looks good with the top 2 seeds getting the extra round off, one question though, will last years cup results have any impact on the seedings of will the come straight from OD?

 

[Simon]

[Blewy]

Seedings will be as per finish from last seasons Cup...

I like this one it works better with the current divisions and only one extra round. It could also extent the season for Academy sides, with the first two rounds addition rounds.

Just a couple of questions.. Will injuries be simmed after each cup round? And, if so, will teams that aren't playing still have injuries?

 

[Blewy]

There is always a chance of injuries... Any team can get injuries at any time...

 

[age_master]

And the Seedings are as follows
#5 - Colts

very much looking to rock the recrd books in this competition

Players get injured at training or playing tennis or even doing odd jobs around the house. Maybe you should get some better medical staff or instruct your players to be more careful around the house.

mh... I was hoping to just lose my first match and avoid increasing the chances of my Four Day team!

Hoping to lose a game - is that the correct sort of attitude for a senior member, and one of the board at that, to take?

i think ur reading too much into that comment marc...

 

[roseboy64]

For model 2, why don't all the Academy sides play in the Prelim Round. 8 have to play there and the other 8 just automatically qualify for Round 1.

 

[marc71178]

Because that causes problems later in the cup.

Much better to get the knockout running smoothly asap.

 

[Blewy]

Marc is right.

The plan is the academy sides will be randomly drawn to see which ones go in the Prelim Round and which into R1..
