CSL Cup Rd 1

I don't think a 2 stage format will work: If you add one qualifying round, you would still have 2A/1B teams entering in round 2 - so there could easily be a div 5/6 team matched with them. Doesn't really get rid of the issue.

Perhaps just Divs 1-4 should be in the cup. This year that was 54 teams. First round: top 18 teams have a bye. 2nd round: everyone else in.

The format is always a point of discussion and maybe there is a difference (or indifference) between players and the club reps?
I for one enjoy the games against higher grade teams.. we lost 10-0 and ended up with 9 players on the pitch (all injures before anyone gets excited) BUT we had a game, got a little closer to match fitness and got out the house on a Saturday!!
Well done to Thebarton beating one of the Cups form teams of the last 3 years (winner and twice semi finalists).. Another new team coming good.
Roll on the league and good luck to all

Yep agreed...
those of us from the lower teams don't mind the odd belting.. It's more than made up for every time we defeat a higher ranked team.. Happy with the current format.

There needs to be one cup to detirmine the best Colleagiate team in the league. Having a second cup is pointless, like the UEFA cup - means absolutely nothing. Your not the best team in Europe, but here's a cup to make you feel good anyway.

The only other thing is to have 2 x Cup Leagues with the winners of each cup league to face off in the Collegiate Cup.
