I'm just generally not one to put much faith in pre-season lining up with how the actual season will actually play out. Though maybe since you have something special going on here I need to rethink my position and treat these cups with a bit more respect. I'm just used to soccer where most such competitions' names can barely be said without being followed by a sly snicker.

In an elimination-style tournament, I don't think this is telling of which teams are good or not, for the most part. It is obvious that the CBO outclasses the NWL, which is the way it should be, but in a one-game setting, any team could beat any other team.
It is fun, though, to have a tournament. I just wish there was a way to keep the stats without them being added to their regular season stats. Because of that, I just make these games exhibitions. It is not as substitute-happy as a Spring Training game, but I also don't know how hard teams try to win in an exhibition game. I enjoy the big tournaments, so I like doing them! I knew I would merge the tournament at some point! Geography is not a hindrance in my universe anymore now that there are Corvegas and buses and trains. I guess I could incorporate fast travel, but that is something still reserved as a superpower by the Sole Survivor.
