Can't be bothered making a new thread, but wanted to bring up the format/numbers for next season.

Don't think there are any new licenses that I've missed, so it should just be a case of whether the WOSFL winners are unlicensed (Beith/St Cadoc's) or Arthurlie win the Junior Cup that changes the numbers - either 5, 6 or 7 qualifiers with 4 clubs to advance to PR2?

Speaking of next season, a very minor change I'd like to see is the draw numbers from the 5th round onwards being the order the ties were drawn in the previous round.

So if the first tie out in R4 is Dundee v Dundee Utd, the winner is number 1 in the R5 draw; if the second tie out in R4 is Hearts v Hibs, the winner is number 2 in the R5 draw and so on.

In the grand scheme of things, it makes little difference but it does make a true "what if" possible all the way to the final.

Could be some clubs (e.g. out West) who applied before licence application moratorium and happen to reach approval in May or June?

Otherwise as you say looking at 5-7 qualifiers for 1-3 ties in PR1.

True, not heard much about clubs putting up floodlights so of those already with them perhaps Renfrew or Troon as they have club policy pages on their website...

Cupar Hearts retained Scottish Amateur Cup on Thursday.

So unless there are any surprise licensees Extra Preliminary will - depending on Arthurlie - consist of 6 or 7 clubs and 2 ties/2 byes or 3/1:

Bo'ness Athletic
Beith
Invergordon
Dundee North End
Culter
Cupar Hearts

Arthurlie
