Banning B Teams From Domestic Cups

[ThatsWhyIsEdit]

As the title says, is this possible?

I've created a Scottish league with larger number of teams in each league for more variety. I've also created an Aberdeen B team for the planned Conference League (and affiliated as B team to main Aberdeen side).

But I've had to link in the cups via Nation Rules and add teams from divisions, and that includes B teams. The league I have the B teams in includes 16 teams, so I altered to include only 12 of those teams in the cup, but I'm assuming the entrants are randomised as at least 2 B teams still show up in the cups.

They're not usually good enough to advance too much, so not a major deal, but it's annoying seeing them there when they shouldn't be.

Is there any way within editor to ban specific teams from domestic cup competitions?

Yes, it is possible.

Thanks - I'm assuming this would be under the Advanced Editor? As I can't see it under the cup itself or under Nation Rules.

Or do you have to create a new cup competition from scratch rather than keep the existing one? (With all its history etc)

Tried changing the advanced rules, simply to remove B teams eligibility for cups (as above) and that was it, but now getting error message:

ERROR IN NATION RULES

Season Update day should be between 8th June and 19th July

My season update date is 9th June? So it's within those dates. I don't get it.

Never mind - figured out the date and ran a test and the cups work without the B teams - cheers for the help! 

Just need to fiddle about with things to stop erratic fixture changes even though dates were specified...
