How do you like the idea of a "randomized" cup event? So 8 countries decided by a randomizer thingy thrown together?
And would you like the 2048 version over the "2 of each country" suggestion?
I dont like either of them.
My suggestion:
1. Supporters cup for the supporters of each region (I doubt there are more than 2048 on each continent)
2. Dollar cup. Each team has to pay an entrance fee of one dollar per season, capped at maximum size of cup event
Both cups to be played on sunday, minutes dont count towards GS, no injuries, no influence on world rank, no money to be made.
Winner of each cup gets supporter for lifetime, Dollar cup would be a nice additional income.
