true, I've been kicked second round 2 seasons ago as well.
Everything has it's positives and negatives.
We all think in our own interest mostly, and view everything from our own eyes.
However the BBs have a mission to make as many people happy in this game as they can.
It is due to this randomness in the Cup-system that more teams start getting shots at the cup.
If they made it a calculated system, the strongest teams will systematically move on towards the final rounds and we would see the same teams in the final 16 each season.
Now, with some bad luck for Div I and II teams, and a lot of luck for lower division teams, the highest divisions need to play each other early, and a lot get eliminated that way. It is possible for div IV to reach the quarters. We have had it in the past.
If the luck even grows, they might even actually win a cup. It's not impossible now, while with a programmed system Div IV teams would have as much chance of winning the cup as winning euromillions...
That makes the cup more interesting to more teams. The top teams still get a shot at becomming champion after they get eliminated, lower division teams don't have such big goals after their cup run...
Seeing (lower) teams crunch in the cup, shows they are making it their top priority to try to catch it.
They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
