Qualifying best lower league teams from one cup to another.

[Reiver]

I am trying to set a cup with this format:

Round 1	256	All 2nd tier teams (32 teams) all 3rd tier teams (96) and best teams from 4th tier divisions (all together 128 teams)
Round 2	128
Round 3	64
Round 4	32
Round 5	32	Top tier teams enter (16 teams)
Round 6	16
Round 7	8
Round 8	4
Round 9	2

 

Now, there's another cup that should get the two teams from the 3rd tier or lower that went the furthest in this cup, played just before round 9 of this cup. Any idea which set of stages, fates and/or hidden stages I can do to make this work. My first try was with an hidden stage getting the results from the cup to see which teams were the top ones but a league stage with over 200 teams just crashes my FM, even if the editor validates it.

If anyone in the future is ever interested in this - I manaed to do with dividing the cup into more than one stage and feeding results into a hidden league stage that had the lower league teams in it.
