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

You should tell a BB.

Yesterday was election day in France. I had one vote. It's the same in BB.

Not sure exactly how many people have a vote in France, but I suspect there are slightly fewer BBs, so perhaps your vote may have more weight than yesterday.

Or if you prefer a shorter statement, I think your analogy is irrelevant.

I think bots should only play bots so we see a Cinderella-bot in the final.

Here is a idea...

Change the cup format, have a group stage followed by a knockout stage.

example: USA has 1170 users, for a country this size lets go with 1024 groups with four teams each, equals 4096 which is the same as the number that competes in the cup now. Seed humans into these slots based upon rank one team at a time into each group. This would mean of the 1024 groups, Only 146 would have a 2nd team, and if done on rank those groups with a 2nd human would be a team that to be honest is probably not paying that much attention. This way everyone gets to have a minimal experience. To make things interesting lets say that all games are neutral site, give everyone a 30K participation bonus per match in the group stage. Then when it is time to go into the knockout phase then you have it be random draws, until the round of 64. BUT be sure to continue the neutral court concept. Payouts return to normal rates.

any thoughts????
