| There should be a "Top 2 teams will advance to the next round" or something like that in the bottom of the league table. I still have to look up on how to advance to the next round. And it could be handy too for new players. Gives also that competitive vibe from the veterans also. |

| From the rules: Cup Games: The cup is a competition, separate from league play, that is open to all teams. All the teams from an association will be invited to the cup, but seeding is random. There are two stages: a group stage and a knock-out stage. In the group stage, all the teams will be divided into groups of six teams and play 4 games against all other group members. The best teams will advance to the knock-out stage. In the knock-out stage, teams will play a best-of-three-game series against opponents, in a single elimination style tournament. The number of participates for the knock-out stage varies by association size, but in the USA with 756 teams comprising 126 groups, a total of 256 teams will advance to the knock-out stage. The winner of each group will automatically advance to the knock-out stage and then the at-large teams will be selected by record and run differential to fill out the rest of the bracket. Please note, cup results will have no affect on league standing, but will result in a larger cash payouts, happier fans and more prestige. Steve |

| Please note, the top two teams don't always advance. Only the group winner and then at-large teams by record. Steve |
