Quote:It’s the reason why I think the CC has lost its appeal for me, the structure is far too complicated
It has to result in 2 finalists, therefore the numbers must add up ie 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2
What's so complex about that? Lesser teams appear in the bigger numbers the better teams appear later on. If there is an imbalance(unequal number!) like the next round then you factor in the lesser teams from SL to make the numbers correct which they've done. Its not exactly science. Unless you want byes - would that simplify it for you
or would you prefer Leeds Wigan etc in the 128 and have a straight run to the line for that round?
