I think they changed the way they put you in a cup.

I gave you the ranges to attempt to show that at least for me it is reasonable and you agree. So, they've not changed it for me (but I'd never rule it out - I don't talk in absolutes).

But you can't prove if you were put in that cup because of your average quality or your best player's quality.
If your best player is 35Q, then you still go to that cup.
Only I can prove the change because my opponents have 10-15 points of quality more than me.
It's not bad luck because with old system you just CAN'T go in such a difficult cup.
