The League Cup is an annual football tournament in Bedistan, in which a number of professional clubs compete. It runs alongside the IAFL and other Bedistani domestic leagues.
Format
The League Cup is a one-legged, seven-round knockout competition in which the 86 clubs in the Fíbelige and above (including the Bedistani clubs in the IAFL) participate. In each round through the fourth round, if the match ends in a draw, it is replayed at the home ground of the opposing team. The replay will go to extra time and/or a penalty shootout if necessary to resolve a draw. The aggregate score of the two matches is not used. The quarterfinals and semifinals, on the other hand, do use a two-legged aggregate format. Note that at the end of the second match, if aggregate scores are equal, extra time will be played. Away goals are not used as a tiebreaker. The final is always contested on neutral ground at Fillmore National Stadium in Sonoma City and consists of a single match.
Most clubs enter the competition in the First Round, but the six IAFL participants receive byes to the Third Round.
Historic formats
Through 2094, the League Cup was a one-legged, nine-round knockout competition in which the 128 clubs in the Bedistan Premier League and Bedistan Football League participated. The 28 teams in the BFL Conference North and South went through the Qualifying Round, and the 14 winners were admitted to the Cup proper. In the First Round, they were joined by 40 clubs from the BFL Third and Fourth Divisions. In the Second Round, the winners joined 20 more clubs from the Second Division. This round featured an odd number of teams, so one of the 47 was randomly selected to receive a bye to the Third Round. In the Third Round, the 40 clubs in the BPL and BFL First Division entered the competition. This brought the total number of Third Round participants to 64, who participated in a simple knockout for the remainder of the Cup.
