I was alluding to the practice of awarding the top-ranked teams a bye. Why should they? I do however see a good reason for awarding the four semi-finalists of the previous cup a bye because they each have another 60 game challenge to complete.
I can't see any failing with my proposal - it's by far the fairest and most uncompromising. As I say, luck of the draw.
I would have no qualms with my own clan starting in Round 1 if it was preferred that way - the only reason I think the last 4 from the previous cup should get a bye is for expediency, otherwise you can put this off for another four months.

So why not restrict entry to CC4 to just the top 16 clans, after all they're the only ones who really count.

I could, but that's just me. The majority of my clanmates could not (and we're only a small clan). I wouldn't want to have to sit for anyone now would I !!

ahunda wrote:And what about that "blackmailing" accusation ?
This whole debate started, when some people said, they didn´t like the old seeding system, that had been used in all Cups so far, and their clans would not participate, if we were using that system again. How is that any different from some people saying now, that they don´t like the total random draw & might not participate, if that system is used ?

a very different thing to one person speaking for their own clan, who frankly we know nobody cares apart from us if we enter or not

anyways, no joke. the previous tourney should have no impact on the new tourney. if your clan is unable to handle the next event, then they shouldnt sign up. They certainly shouldnt expect a newly created bye to occur because the clan cant handle 60 extra games amongst themselves against a low seeded clan.

Wtf do you expect me to do at that point ? We have argued here, with arguments, counter-proposals, alternative suggestions, everything being ignored & tossed out the window.
Well, I don´t have to suck up anything. If I don´t like it, I don´t participate. That´s as true for me & my clan as it is for you & yours.

Wow, and you're an authority figure? What a joke.
