I don't think anyone in your Division played in the Cup, so really, everyone you are competing against this season is in the same situation as yourself, this would make it fair wouldn't it?

I am in a division that is playing in the Cup and I have 6 teams that decided to invest their initial cash into competitive players and not into player development or arenas , they are carrying higher salaries and need the Cup just to make ends meet, sure they are bringing more money in each week, but if they keep going this far in the Cup and don't invest elsewhere, what will they have when they promote? Will be interesting to see... As for Divisions like yours where you can spend less on higher salaried players, train a bunch of guys and pour in your cash to a bigger Arena and still have the same chances of promotion, I guess it remains to be seen just who will survive better as the promotions happen.

If I were in one of the Divisions not playing I would be looking at the opportunity that I have and how to make it work, you never know, maybe the temptation of playing in the Cup and continually throwing more and more resources at it for the limited returns, might just show to be a limiting long term strategy??

You had your chance to sign up from day one.

Plenty of posts about Utopia before it commenced bloke.

It's up to me if I'd like to sign on day one or day 99
My league its not in same position comparing to these getting 50k every week.

Are you aware there are no bots in the Utopia cup? You must not be, given the ridiculous claim that there are teams getting 50k every week.

Of the initial 1024 teams, 512 lost and got $0 from the cup.
Another 256 lost the next week and got a total of $50,000 from being in the cup.
Another 128 will lose this week, making a total of $100,000 from their run in the cup.
Leaving only 128 teams still in the tournament, with half of them losing each week.

The Utopia tournament is not a money making opportunity for the vast majority of Utopia teams. Even if you had been in it, the odds say you would already have lost and be out, making either $0 or $50,000 in total.

The argument that those teams who joined later and therefore were not part of the initial Utopia Tournament are suffering some large economic disadvantage is silly and uninformed.

A least for me, I couldn't compete in both my league and the Cup. I decided to focus on my league after dropping to 1 - 3 in my league.

It is a severe disadvantage. Because I was in the Cup, I was able to put all of that $0 into new seats for my arena, but he didn't get a chance to earn that $0.
