If they are going to keep this disgraceful cup format, then at least TREBLE the prize money for to match its difficulty of winning, I lose $85M by going out in the Preliminary round. But I can play 50 friendlies this season for my training and get more greens/reds/blues and make MORE than the $85M that I would of got if I had won the cup.
