    Adding a level cap would be fine. Altho i'd make lv1 something totally alienated from the rest, or at max cap it just wit level 2. Newbies should have a shoot to it too to better understand turnover issues and what mean building a good team. And they'd be crushed by any level 3.

    At least with the level bands I was suggesting (doesn't have to be exact) the Cup will still feel like a Cup but at least it would make the Cup far more competitive. I was seeded No.2 in my Cup draw this season and my Semi-Final was against a team 15 quality lower than mine. Not very competitive for a Semi-Final.

    Yeah, i agree. Basically even being level 2 i alwais was 4-7 points stronger than my opponent. Which at level 2 is a lot of difference (not on results tho). WHat i wanted to point out would be a kind of "beginners cup" just for levels 1, rest is fine as you divided i'd say.

    I would imagine the existing beginners cup will stay for the beginners as it is and also any L1 players that don't get promoted first time around will get moved into the L1-L4 band.

    Sounds like a good plan to me. But hey, can we pierce through Nordeus' ears? can we?

    I don't know, I think we will wait until next season to see what these changes are in the Cup format, I'm hoping for around L13 opponents for preliminaries round if that's going to be the new format, but chances are they could throw in a L20 or something, who knows.
