I'm wearing out the Help Forums....sorry to be such a bother but the help is greatly appreciated guys!
Re National Cup Tournaments
How is the seeding done for these? I have a game against far and away the best team in our Div V league and this season they lost their first Cup Tournament game because they were seeded up against a Div III team. This seems kind of unfair to them as they likely would have advanced at least a few rounds if matched against a lesser opponent. I saw the results of the tournament include rounds where teams play against Div VI bot teams, which this team (even MY team) would have absolutely CRUSHED! The way the seedings went, though, deprived my future opponent of a $50,000 payday.
I was hoping to be able to pick up a few bucks next season by winning a couple early round matchups against bot or (hopefully) weaker Div V teams, but if I'm going to be matched up against a Div III team, that's not going to work out well. Do they seed these tournaments based on your finish in your league? If so, then there's even more incentive to "tank" if you don't think you're going to get promoted because you may cost yourself literally hundreds of thousands of dollars of Cup money the next season.
Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks!
