2.- New tournament setup

The draw in National Cup en God Cup matches used to be random. That has changed. The system will be more fair now.

Matches:

The teamranking of each team will be calculated after each match. Based on this teamranking the teams will be divided into 2 groups: A group with the highest ranked teams and a group with the lowest ranked teams. One team from each group will be randomly pulled and they will play against eachother.

Location draw

1st round: Random choice of hometeam.

Next rounds: The system counts the amount of homematches each team has played during the current season:

1.- The team that played at home the least, will get to play in it's own stadium.
2.- If both teams have played at home an equal amount of times, the hometeam will be chosen randomly
