How do I go about recreating the N/S split in the Football League Trophy? (Advanced Rules)

[CMdan44]

I looked at the rules of that competition in its default form and thought I'd worked it out but then I came to creating my version and I just drew a blank, anyway it seems easier to ask here than to keep switching between the two files: is there a way to recreate the split in the JPT in my own competition or is it something that's part of SI's hardcoded rules and therefore inimitable?

As far as I can see there's no way for us to replicate this, you could potentially do it East and West by sorting the teams out by their longitude but not by their latitude it seems.

That's annoying.

Use regional draw flag with two regions and set the appropriate regional boundries and/or regional division for each round you want the split draw for, and the game will do its best to get a regional draw up and running. I've found it's usually pretty accurate, though sometimes you'll get like Pompey in the Northern section, though this is more to do with the fact the game genuinely has too many or too less teams for whichever section it draws first.
