I have an x next to my team name like I've made it, but no scheduled games, it isn't highlighted red like the others, and I don't have the little trophy indicating I'm still in the Cup. I checked the other two teams that were 11-9 and +23 and neither of them got Cup games scheduled. I checked to see who is playing the #1 seed, and it is the Lexington Colonels who were 11-9 with a +8. So, does it just default to a random team once there is a 3-way tie at +23?

Because the top team from each group gets in - and there is almost always at least one team that is top of its group, but not as high as the 256th team. The X just means you are in the top 256 team, but you can also see that by just looking at the number... So I don't know why we even have the X...? BTW - I think its appropriate that the top team gets in. It helps mitigate the randomized/uneven distribution of teams. Even those in the "groups of death" have a chance to advance.
