According to the structure of the leagues there are more VI teams than teams in every other league combined. So what do you guys think about BB making a change so that every Div 1-5 team plays a Div 6 team in the first round of the cup? A few Div 6 teams would still get by the first round by beating inactive/bad teams and the few remaining games that involved two Div 6 teams would have to have a winner but it would drastically reduce the number of them that manage to squeak by deep in the tourney and it would let everyone at least start on an even playing field by essentially having a round 1 bye.

I still think it should be setup like a 1 vs. 33000, 2 vs. 22999, 3 vs. 22998, etc. Where you enter in the number of people in the country with the second number (30k was just a number I pulled out randomly). That way, the lower D.VI team have a higher chance of being weeded out, mainly the bots, giving the others a solid chance at doing something.

That would probably be very difficult to set up though. Would definitely be better than the current crapshoot system though.
