Division cup is a great idea

problem is that you cant play more than 6-8 round. League ends on thursday. So there is only interval from friday to another friday. And also SP cup culminates at that time. It means no more than 256 teams can play - no chance for divisions F,G,H.
To playoff - you need 3 teams to play with teams from lower division. And if 2 automatically promotes then 6 automatically relegates. According to your proposal teams on 8.-10. position have to play playoff - dont like this idea

1. I understand what you mean, but we know that there is a long time between two seasons, so there will be time for F,G,H division teams. What about the boring side of the game, when the season ends and you are a G division team and you relegate, you'll probably leave the game, but if you keep working hard you'll be the 11th or 12th then you will have a chance to not to relegate.
2. You are in an X division and you lost promotion with just a point or I dunno just a game. Then you'll get crazy, I would get crazy. But with this idea, you will have a second chance to promote, maybe just a game or two, I'm not talking about 6 or 8 rounds.
1) No, there isnt a long time between seasons. There are 8 days (pls dont use suggestive expresions like - "we know that", maybe you know
![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
), for serious tournament no more then 1 game can be played during 1 day (2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2=256). In G there are 729 division winners how do you want to manage this tournament?
Solution should be to play during season in separate tournaments like:
1. A+B+C+D
2. E
3. F
4. G
5. H
Matches should be played on saturday 4:00 (with a possibility to subscribe or not).
2) You wrote: "but if you keep working hard you'll be the 11th or 12th then you will have a chance to not to relegate."
On the other hand - if you keep working hard and finish 2nd then you want to reach promotion without any playoffs.
I my opinion for this game is much more important to have a good chance to promote than to avoid relegation.
3) Everybody plays this game for promotion to reach the top and if somebody gives up playing because of relegation (or lost promotion) its his or her own decision
