Lots of complaints about the way the cup is run. Would love to hear opinions on how you'd run it if you were making the draw

9 NPL Clubs and top 7 New FM =16 seaded to the round of 32Originally Posted by monz6
Remaining New FM Clubs put in with the Zone league's in Qualifying rounds to get 8 Qualifers= 8 Qualifers
Northern Inland = 2 Qualifers
Far North Coast = 2 Qualifers
North Coast = 2 Qualifers
Mid North Coast = 2 Qualifers
Total= 16
Seaded= 16
Southern Pool= 8
Northern Pool= 8
That's your 32. The 16 seaded drawn against 16 Qualifers, Qualifers are the home team.
Then from the round of 16 1st team drawn is the host, Finalist get the 2 FFA Cup spots.

Gotta get spellcheck on here, some of the spelling is atroshus!!
Missed an i the first time text predictor took over after that. After editing one mistake i couldn't be arse changing all of them.
Not your fault some of the spelling is seady!!ha!
Only if that club also constantly gets special treatment from Northern as well.
This draw sounds way too fair and the best teams would come through to the round of 16 teams.

Stop talking common sense, its not as fun!
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
Because I hate BYES and no Club should get a free pass through to the next round.
Last 4 ZL3 Clubs playoff= 2 winners
Qualifying round 1
2 Playoff winners + 5 ZL3 + 9 ZL2 = (2+5+9=16) 8 Winners
Qualifying round 2
Round 1 (8) + 4 remaining New FM + 10 ZPL + 10 ZL1 =(8+4+10+10=32) 16 Winners
Qualifying round 3
Round 2 winners (16) = 8 Winners, progress to the round of 32 joining the 8 Northern Clubs and 16 seeded Clubs.
It doesn't matter what system everyone thinks is the answer the only one that counts is the official one so please stop boring the tripe out of me with this mindless, meaningless drivel.
Maybe this will help:

Just saw on Facebook; Belswans 4-3 over Jesmond tonight. Rams lead at half-time but Belswans got the job done, a 19's and 17's player got on the scoresheet so maybe not a top-tier squad but good for the club nonetheless. Westy v Thornton tomorrow will be interesting.
Probably best to avoid the Internet altogether
Probably best to discuss things that are relevant not some meandering claptrap eh!
Not one little bit. I am open to discussion all day long but this is just like having teeth pulled without drugs. Comments on what is happening is good, unless you can change the way the draw is done do we need to know every Tom, Dick & Harrys version of how the draw should be done, I don't think so it's boring.
Good post, gives factual comment doesn't drift off into fantasy world, thanks.
Before people start going off the idea (in my mind )of this forum is for stimulating conversation & with due respect discussion about what if the draw was this or that doesn't make the brain buzz with excitement, besides I hate getting up for work this early!
The fact that there are "byes" for teams to get into the quarter finals of a Nationwide Competition is an absolute joke.
You don't see Cambridge getting bye into the 4th round of FA Cup.
There has to be a better way.
Give 20 byes out in the first round if need be to the highest ranked teams and go from there.
We also need to figure out what we want our regions FFA Cup draw to achieve. Do we want a random draw where the cup concept of a team getting a good run is the foundation. Or do we want a draw that ensures our best teams progress to represent our region.
The elite teams will say the latter. The lesser teams will say they want to live the dream of a cup run.
Look at Balmain last year, 3/4th tier in sydney, progressed to play victory.
