Thema: [U21] Druid's Cup U20/21 - fourth edition
I think a few other teams like me made the same mistake. Article 18 of the rules allows u21 teams under the age of 999. I did not read the last article 17 and 18.
Congratulations to Belgium. Good luck in the next round.

Next season you might want to change the rules a little bit. Teams from C,D,E should be allowed to play U21 to make it a bit fairer.

I don't know If I will prepare next edition of Druid's Cup, but after tournament I will ask all of you about this edition, what you would like to change, etc.
I think is better to play all teams, and Group final A will play for place 1-8, finals for place 9-16, Group final B will be finals for place 17-24 and finals for place 25-32.
Next week, it will play semifinals for place 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16, 17-20, 21-24, 25-28 and 29-32.
After that, the week of finals: (1-2, 3-4, etc, and 31-32).

Thanks for letting us share our thoughts on the Druid's Cup. I appreciate the effort that goes into organizing these tournaments, but I have a suggestion that could make things simpler.
It's confusing when U21 players are allowed in a tournament that's mainly for U20 players. In World Cup qualifiers, there are no exceptions like this – it's just U21, no older players. That makes everything clearer and fairer.
If the Druid's Cup only allows U20 players in the future, I'd be really happy about it and it would be a big reason for me to participate. Until then, I'm hesitant about how interesting these tournaments are for me. It's about having clear rules that everyone follows.
I hope my suggestion is seen as a positive idea to make the tournament even better.

Thank you very much for your opinions I will think about the next edition If I will have time to prepare the tournament. Maybe next edition will be only Cup phase we will see.
