| 1. Author: CitizenPar Date: Wed 7th May 2025. 13:12 It all seems a tad complicated to me, but a change of format can surely only be good, in addition to an increased prize money pot. Reply |
| 2. Author: ParfectXI Date: Wed 7th May 2025. 13:18 It’s made complicated as it’s more of this tournament engineering BS! The top seed will play one of the bottom 2 seeds etc! It’s just a terrible way of doing things! Bring back everyone in a pot and let fate decide! Reply |
| 3. Author: kelty_par Date: Wed 7th May 2025. 13:25 Positives - increased prize money, teams won`t play just one game in August and get knocked out. Negatives - continued presence of B teams, hundreds of games just to eliminate 8 teams, increased number of midweek games for part time teams at the start of the season could lead to more injuries etc, travelling costs even when refionalosed (e.g. Stranraer v Edinburgh City in South, Stirling v Peterhead in North?), seeded knock out round, teams potentially getting through losing 5 out of 6 games... Aye, fair to say I`m not a fan. Reply |

| 6. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 7th May 2025. 14:34 Big increase in prize money. if I understand it correctly Championship clubs can win between £30,000 and £150,000. Reply |
| 7. Author: parsfan Date: Wed 7th May 2025. 18:58 I hope KDM are insisting the final of "their" tournament is held in "their" stadium. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The universe is ruled by chance and indifference  Reply |
| 8. Author: Socks Date: Wed 7th May 2025. 21:17 I`m surprised any sponsor wants to put their name to this. What a load of utter mince. It`s clearly contrived so that the B teams get more games against real football clubs. There`s a video on the SPFL site that explains the format - in the group round none of the B teams will play each other, so they`re all guaranteed 3 games against L1 sides and 3 more games against L2 sides. Lower league clubs exist to play football in their own right. Their purpose is not to provide opposition to U20 teams. Imagine having to play 6 games to get through to the last 32 of a competition when there are only 30 real clubs entering. When this was first mooted a few months ago, a close read of the careful wording seemed to show that this was entirely from the competitions working group. I`d be amazed if any clubs other than those entering B teams think it`s a good idea. Reply |
| 9. Author: Parallel Lines Date: Wed 7th May 2025. 21:48 It`s a steaming pile of Hotspur that what it is. I watched the video and lost after 1 minute. Just make it knockout from round 1 with all teams. I looked for my pet in all the books on animals and birds and then I found it in the Book of Revelations.Marty Feldman Reply |
| 10. Author: red-star-par Date: Wed 7th May 2025. 23:38 When they bring in seeding to any competition it does nothing other than to totally ruin it, in my opinion Reply |
| 11. Author: JnrB Date: Thu 8th May 2025. 08:17 Absolutely dreadful for league 1 and 2 clubs, B teams shoehorned in, the omission of highland and lowland league clubs. There’s so much wrong with this. Reply |
