Also it would have needed alot more coverage and news regarding the cup in my opinion. Most of the finals went unnoticed and only the TS quarterfinal can be found on UZ's youtube channel. That's just my view as someone who was uninvolved in these events. To come back to my original post I can sum it up by saying: I very much like the idea, but the execution was unsatisfying. But after all it was the first try so it's far from disaster.
I can only answer this as the coverage is my main job, I was sick, some of the matches were covered and still need to be uploaded. Also the CB NC has a higher priority, people find it more interesting.

After the group stage the transfers should either be locked or limited to 1 or something like that.
Also players who played for a team in the cup shouldn't be allowed to play for another team in the same cup at all.
Aside from that the cup system worked pretty well, I guess.. At least for TS and Bomb. In CTF I had the feeling that the skill discrepancy was too big for the system to work very well. In the end only Div 1 teams were left in the playoffs. I guess that could be fixed with double elimination + a losers/lower bracket. It's kinda sad for teams to only play 3 games, as already mentioned above. It may be more hassle to organize a tournament like that but I guess it would pay off. Maybe make a B cup and let's play 3rd and 4th to decide who stays in the cup/Div 1/2.
Considering the big picture, I always liked UZ having a league system and CB having a cup system. Felt like football with your national leagues and CL 8D
Will add more as I think about stuff 8>
I agree with this, I think you guys could organize 2 cups, 1 featuring 1st and 2nd places of the group and another one featuring 3rd and 4th places.
This way, each team would play a minimum of 4 matches and the A cup would be a playoff, whereas B cup would some sort of playout, but the winner of the B cup could be claimed as the winner of the 2nd div.
The teams eliminated in the 1st round in the B cup should go lower div, or half of them: 4 teams eliminated in the 1st round of the B cup and they play against eachother 1 more match each, which would result in 2 losers who would be demoted for the 3rd league.
This could be a clear system, with more motivated teams. The only catch that i see is that admins would have to bust their asses working.
But overall, i agree with dcdd about uz/cb - its nice to have both a league system and a cup system, we should kill uz's tradition :J

I don't think this is practical. The initial idea of the cup was to reduce the amount of dropouts, I doubt any clan would be interested in playing "loser play-offs".
Double elimination may work, last used in ClanBase Summer Cup 2012, but that would extent the season a lot. If you increase the group size to an uneven number like 5, you end up having 5 match weeks in group stage. If you add the double elimination system for play-offs you'd have like a 4 months season.
This season the cup was already 2 weeks overdue, compared to the actual schedule.
