How stupid is the cup-tie crap. So Stevey and Lucas get their whole preseason kneecapped because they don't have a better way of organising those playoffs than right at the end of the season? Absurd bullsh*t.
The cup should begin at Round of 64 and include every A-League team.

Exactly I understand the cup tie rule for like a January transfer window but makes no sense when it counts from a previous season. Either they don’t count that to the cup tie rule or organize the games not during the previous season. Classic FFA mess.
It is a side effect of the amateur and professional seasons in Australia not being aligned. The Cup starts well before the A-League season finishes.
