I have been talking to coaches in game chat, looking at blogs and forum posts. I think the issue with the Black Cup is the timing of the event. It seems to me a lot of coaches do not apply simply because the tournament takes place during the two worst months on FUMBBL to schedule matches, July and August.
I would suggest to increase participation in next years Black Cup to have the draw on the exact same date and time as the Lustrian Challenge. 2 Majors, one box and one ranked running at the exact same time. That will get coaches "juices" flowing that two majors are running side by side.
And then 2-3 weeks later after both are done then the one combined major the FUMBBL CUP!!!!!
Just my 2 cents. |

Picks can be placed until Monday.
I have made notes on the master list on page #2 that have the official card. So coaches can see which matches have and have not been played. |

Advertising about 3 weeks out would help too. I think next Major I'll tell all my Box opponents about it and also make a blog post or two. |

Yeah I used that to make sure that I didn't pick a match already completed. |

Sotomonte better not let me down. If I go 0-2 on undead picks I'll be both elated (forlorn chances!) and pissed! |
