National Cups under way

Today we started the National Cups matches generation. These competitions will last from the beginning of the season to the middle of the season or less, for smaller countries. If the number of teams is not a power of 2 (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128...) the first round will have fewer teams, and those will be from lower divisions.

Each round is played in 2 legs, and the total winner advances to the next round. If the sum of the results is a draw, the team with most away goals scored wins. If the draw persists, penalty shootout will take place.

I think this is the traditional format for this kind of competition, so most of you are already familiar with it. The National Cup generation may be done by tomorrow night. We'll keep you posted.
