Understand the draw process - happens in many sports knockout competitions. 

But in football, venue is an issue, so why not have a coin toss once the 2 teams are sorted? 

It's so fecking obvious - to everyone other than the morons who run this hopelessly piss poor league.

So the people who run the league are condemned despite this being the system in every other football knockout tournament?

Are there that many non-seeded cup competitions with a set bracket after a single draw? Made worse if its true that top of the ties is always at home in a single game.

I don’t think the league can win here, the clubs didn’t want an end of season tournament so they are trying to accommodate the clubs wishes.

By the sounds of the complaints they did an open draw for the 1st round and filled in the bracket.

It's 16 teams they either could have done an open draw for each round. Then still made a graphic. Or they could have done the 1st and 2nd Rounds and done the semi-final draw another time.

They could have and might have done,  I am sure someone who knows better may comment.
