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.

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 😁😁😁🍾🍾🍾

So that's what I'm saying, if there are 358 potential registrants, we only expect 256 to sign up and we'll start when 256 have done so, and if there aren't enough by the deadline, we'll top up.
Otherwise, what's the point of pre-registration for 3 weeks? ?????
And if it's set at 512 for reasons I don't know, we might as well immediately add the 358 (active or inactive) and complete with 154 clubs, for example the top 154 in the VF rankings (excluding those already in the 358),
Then there would be a 3-week registration phase that would be completely unnecessary.

It doesn't matter if the cup is thrown, it's all for the best.

myforsans: Donc c'est bien ce que je dis si il y a 358 inscrits potentiels, on prévoit seulement 256 inscrits et ça démarre quand il y en aura 256 qui se seront manifestés et si pas assez à la deadline, on complète.
Sinon quel est l'intérêt de la pré-inscription pendant 3 semaines ?????
Et si c'est fixé a 512 pour des raisonsque j'ignore, autant immédiatement mettre d'office les 358 (actifs ou inactifs) et compléter par 154 clubs, par exemple les 154 premiers du classement VF (hors ceux figurant déjà da...

Every time it's the same, it's a waste of time, every Legends Cup has a topic for that reason, now I sign up, do 1 or 2 rounds and goodbye.
For me there should be only legends point, the one who stopped the game sorry but it's his choice if he came back in level 1 so no legend.
Anyone who doesn't have the required points is not a legend.
Create the vf popular cup at worst
Here is my feeling you can disagree with me it's not serious

Yes, I agree 100%. This predictability of 512 entries is inconsistent with the fact that the potential entries are 358 minus the inactive or those who have good reasons for not wanting to take part.
There's nothing 'legendary' about the Legends Cup, which could potentially be won by a club that isn't in the 358.
It reminds me of the Euroleague in basketball, which could (potentially, because surely not this season, given their level) be won by a team from Dubai.

The first 256 would have been perfect; in any case, all the "legends" don't necessarily connect any more, so it'll be pretty good if we get to that figure.

Already launched 😲

estac: Déjà lancée 😲

That's right!
Rarely has a request been handled so quickly.
