Not a bad shout, but yes this gives something different for our kids to play in a different environment and tournament. Pre-Season Cup gave the kids the environment to play a group stage and then potentially finals, the league gives them the promotion relegation, then just a league to make finals and now the mid season cup is a good knock-out experience. Additional competition matches is a good things
Maybe the mid season cup should be based on the division. You will not convince me that an NPL side beating a NL1 side by 10 goals or more does any good for any player.
