Do you get any money if you are the road team in a cup game?

Thanks Mr. Wendsday. I just noticed your a new guy around here. Are you a long time Hattrick player?

Why is my first cup game on the road, if it's against a bot Div. VI team, and I'm in Div. V? No seeding for home field advantage?

i'm pretty sure the lower seed gets to play at home in the cup

If not hattrick, he's an avid Neil Gaiman reader...Mr. Wednesday is a character in American Gods.

That is correct, that's the reason all of us got away games, since we all play bots...

Also, remember that your seeding is based on the position you had at the end of last season. For example, my team is seeded as a 1st position from level V, not a 7th position from level IV (where I'm sitting for now)...

So, basically, I can almost count on having home field advantage after this week? ;)

No, you can pretty much count on having another away game. There are LOADS of VI teams, more than enough to go around for 2 rounds.

Well, that's not so bad, either... just means I can cound on a third cup game, then. ;)

There are LOADS of VI teams, more than enough to go around for 2 rounds.Actually, enough will be burned off in the first round that many V teams should get a home game against another V team. Assuming no upsets, 1360 of the 2048 V teams should have to play another V in round 2. And with most of the VI teams being bots, I don't expect there'll be a whole lot of upsets where a VI team beats a V team.

The only hitch here is that I checked some historical data and lower-placed V teams had away games in the second round of the cup last year, which I can't reconcile with the math. I must have made an error somewhere. The math says that partway into second place in V should be playing another V in round 2, but I found a fifth-place team that went on the road last year.
