Is it possible to give seeded positions in the cup tournament according to their country ranking?

Been suggested before. Still a bad idea as it would heavily favor the top tier teams and eliminate the incentive for lower division teams to make a run.

I once had a team with 1757 players and was $25,835,360 in debt. This is not that team. Join the Discord group open to anyone, but especially for USA managers to improve your club or get involved with the U21 and NT programs (https://discord.gg/cKpNkt2).

That makes a point, but the top tier teams should not be eliminated in the cup until sweet 16 or elite 8.

What about giving the top league a first round bye, and making sure that in the first few rounds all the bots get knocked out?

There's no need of a first round bye, but all the bots teams should be knocked out in the first few rounds to make the tournament more competitive and fun.

Still, however, top tier teams should be in the sweet 16.

Why? So its easier for them to make more money than the 17th best team and below? Horrible.

I'm against seeds in the Cup, but bots should play humans in priority.

You should tell a BB.
