Asunto: [U21] Druid's Cup U20/21 - fourth edition

Thank you very much for your opinions I will think about the next edition If I will have time to prepare the tournament. Maybe next edition will be only Cup phase we will see.

I think teams should be seeded and this seed determines how many of any under age group you can use.

So lowest seed can use all U21, second lowest seed must use an u20 player, 3rd lowest seed must use 2 u20 players etc.

It will mean the top teams will have to use u20 players with a certain number of u19 players, and the rules should apply also in the finals, otherwise if everyone qualifies for the knockout regardless, then the group stage is all for nothing and you might as well just run an u20 knockout competition (which would also be fine)

I think u/21 rules should count in cup phase too..... Too confusing to change age rules midway
