Following the message I received, I registered but, as with the previous edition, I noticed that the cup was planned for a much larger number of clubs than were potentially involved.
The list of "Cercle members" is 358
#ranking?type=legends
a number of which have been inactive for some time.
So why plan a 'river' cup with 512 places? Look for the mistake!
The list of participants will be completed on the basis of obscure criteria.
This cup should be limited to the first 256 registrants.
Or if it's for 512, why call it the Circle of Legends Cup?
Entries are accepted until 29 November and the season ends on 2 January, so I'd be very, very surprised if this cup ended before the end of the season by starting at the 1/256th final.
At the moment, 150 people have signed up, which isn't bad, but I'm not even sure we'll get to 256.

Rich problems 😂

On a more serious note, and as you pointed out, there are more than 256 clubs in the circle. And even though some have been inactive for a long time, I imagine the cup was set up to be able to accommodate all members if everyone decided to join. And the next value is 512.

Now you raise an interesting question. Why not send an invitation via notification to all the members of the circle at the start of the season to confirm their participation or not? That way, if it's possible, the cup could be configured according to everyone's actual attendance record.

myforsans: Suite au message reçu je me suis inscrit mais comme pour la précédente édition je constate que la coupe est prévue pour un nombre bien supérieur aux clubs potentiellement concernés.
La liste des "membres du Cercle" est de 358
#ranking?type=legends
dont un certain nombre sont inactifs depuis un moment.
Alors, pourquoi prévoir une coupe "fleuve" avec 512 places ? Cherchez l'erreur !
La liste des participants va encore être complétée sur la base de critères obscurs.
Ce...

The last Legends Cup ended the following season.
Start of season 140, end of season 141 :

We have to leave it like that last time it was shaved and many clubs could not participate although they had their place, in the end the inactive clubs will be out in the first round is not a scandal either.

Please leave the inactive ones I could spend more than one round like that 😁😁😁🍾🍾🍾
