As long as the cup draw is completely random, I personally think that the BBs should remove the home court advantage.

I also think that a seeding system should be introduced whereby humans play bots (at home) in the preliminary rounds. Once there are more humans than bots left, the draw could return to being random. This would remove most of the "luckiness" that some teams get by drawing bots while humans play against each other in the early rounds. I hate it that bots can get an easy ride to the final 16.

Wha........t a terrible setting it is. As I knew, some level III team met COM teams for 4 rounds and a lot of level I and level II met each other in the last round.
That's the reason why China Cup is between 2 III teams last season I think.

RANDOM?!!! Hooooooooooo.

agree..they should really reduce the random factor in this cup stuff.. 1. and 2. division teams meeting eachother in round 1-2 and 3. and 4. division teams getting bots etc.. not really a "champion competition" - more a round of luck if you get a bot team/4. div team and if you get home court advantage, which is quite immense!

It isn't a champion competition, that's the BB3.
It's the charm of the cup that teams from I. and II. meat eachother early, so that other teams from lower division can suprise by reaching very far.

Ever heard of cupfigthers?

btw this is why home court advantage should stay in the cup as well, otherwise it would possible be a one man show, with lets say 6 teams from the I.1 at the last 8.

Did you see the FA Cup (soccer) in England this year? One of the two finalist was a team from the 2nd division. That's just absolutely great, there was no Man.U, there was no Chelsea, there was no Arsenal, there was no Liverpool. There was Cardiff City.
