SPR Jan 2021 4:48pm, 23 Jan 2021 33,069 posts	0 SPR For a cup, we'd need to do some random generator for each round and then would need people to be able to update their results somewhere so that tracking rounds isn't laborious. For a match, a second group on chess.com probably sorts it easily TBH.

Goofee Jan 2021 5:54pm, 23 Jan 2021 3,584 posts	0 Goofee Cheers, Surelynot, it was a close thing, could easily have gone your way - just that bit of luck in our second game was the difference. I've really enjoyed all the league matches, it's certainly improved my game having to play so many evenly matched games in a short space of time.
SPR Jan 2021 5:55pm, 23 Jan 2021 33,071 posts	0 SPR I think everyone prefers a random draw, it just adds complexity because chess.com can't handle it.

SPR Jan 2021 7:13pm, 23 Jan 2021 33,072 posts	0 SPR Nice one Fetch, thanks. Would certainly make it more of an FA cup type feel. Maybe you and KatieB can do the draw live on YouTube I was going to put a support request in to chess.com and still will but at least we can do it even if we don't get a favourable response there.
JK chameleon Jan 2021 7:18pm, 23 Jan 2021 13,339 posts	0 JK chameleon It would definitely give it a bit more "magic of the cup" - I can imagine the current rules would put off lower rated players a bit, knowing that they'll just be up against the top rated guys come what may.
