I have no problem with random draws and would hope that convenience doesn't come into it. And I heard that some random byes in the first round of English Cup mean Pap Redwood, Parklands and someone else random get a free pass to round two!
With only 12 teams entering the English Cup there had to be byes.
An open draw is the fairest, better than seeding teams as this will always cause problems.
A cup is about underdogs causing upsets, not the best two team reaching the final.
