Idea to improve the Cup
How about this for a spin on the cup?
The draw continues to be random for all rounds of the cup except the 3rd and 6th rounds.
In the 3rd and 6th rounds you draw a team from the same Division level as your own team (or as near as possible)
Give more hope to those in the lower Divisions and also make them more dangerous when you do play them because they have more hope if they could just get passed you.
Perhaps make prize money in these "Same Division" rounds higher. (bit of compensation)
Maybe even make these rounds (the 3rd and 6th rounds) worth double the normal prize money as an added inducement to all concerned.
Whilst you may argue that this is not fair for the Division one teams, I will counter that they will go harder at the cup because they would know if they could get to round 7, there wont be as many fellow Div 1 teams left in the tournament
What do you think about this idea?
