    Cup format suggestion

    After all the complains from tokens buyers we have heard las two days i came up with different cup formats, that may rise the competition level and eliminate the disadvantage token buyers suffered from current format. (anyway current format i think is much better than the previous one)
    I don't know if these format can be maked, i post them anyway:

    1)CL similar one
    128 teams banded in 4 levels.... 32 from each level. all putted together in groups of four (1 team from each level). only 1 game against every team in the groups stage. then the winners of every group enter the last 32 round.

    2)"Tim trophy" group stage
    if the four level gap is too high: 96 teams from 3 levels. all putted together in groups of 3 (1 from each level). Home and away matches and every group winner goes to last 32

    3)"Two trophy" format
    128 teams from 4 levels. 32 from each level. first round level higher vs level lower, mid level vs mid level. winners of first round enter the last 64. losers enter a last 64 round too. then you have 2 different trophies. one serie A Cup and one serie B cup... of course with different prizes.

    4)"Intertoto style"
    152 teams from 6 different levels. 96 from three lower levels (32,32,32). 52 from upper levels (28,16,8). first rounds played by only lower levels. the 32 lower face the 32 higher... the 32 mid level face themself. then the 48 winners face themself until they remain 12. this 12 win the intertoto trophy and enter last 64 against higher levels teams.

    would be nice have someone of nordeus explain us if these format can be used.
    Cheers

    Your formats seem very complicated. The current format works, I guess. Not sure how many teams there are, but it's just simple knockout football.

    My biggest complaint is the prize money. As a level 17 team, I was guaranteed to progress much further and get much more money under the old format. Now I'm waiting to see my next opponent, I could get knocked out in the qualifying round. I barely made a profit in the first round, with a 3.25M bonus for the first leg which I drew, so I didn't pay up, and then a 7.5M bonus for the second leg at home which I won 2-1, but still made a profit on the day due to prize money and ticket and merchandise sales. With money being so hard to come by, the best outcomes for me would be a high scoring draw away, and a low scoring draw at home, going through on away goals without paying a cent of win bonus.
