1) division a, b and c CUP.
2) division d and e CUP
3) division f and g CUP
next GROUP2) champion will play GROUP3) champion, as they will be more competetive this way.the winner of this then will meet the champion of 1)the winner will have the title of SP CUP.....(THE SMALLER DIV. WILL BE HAPPY TO FIELD THEIR BEST LINE UP..)
....by doing this sp will motivate smaller clubs to at least strive in their lower league..if this current sytem does not change im sorry to say theres a lot of manager, including me let their team to lose in the 1st round.cos we knew we wont go far.if sp ignore this then just let the sp cup only for DIV A ,B AND C...cos i have done my home work only this division can hold the sp CUP....so if you guyz dont care, the cup is nothing to the manager of D DIVISION AND BELOW....IM SAYINHG THIS SO THAT SP CUP IS FOR EVERYBODY....TO TRY....(even small club will say,"at least i hold the title of div f and g CUP."that will be a happy ending.
the point of this is sp cup is for big boys only....think of the lower div.... if not ,dont bother to let the lower division play...cos majority are not interested....current system....


 Also leagues would be easier to work out numbers wise I imagine since they have set numbers at each level, hence a single set of groups/brackets can be worked out beforehand and always applied whereas with rating it would be constantly shifting. (not to mention team rating changing over time, teams could starts and sub 60 and reach 70+ over the course of a season)

 ... and to be honest, when was the last time in real life, when a B-team took the Cup, and how often does that happen? So, of course it's (almost) impossible for a G-team to win the cup, but that's not the point. The point is to get as far as you can and to fight
