The original system of the Spanish King's Cup was that four Spanish clubs caught each other in the knockout round "regardless of rank". However, in 2005-06, the competition system of Spain's King's Cup was reformed, and the low-level teams had to go through several rounds of elimination to meet the first-class teams, which reduced the number of matches and the possibility of surprises for La Liga teams.
The reformed King's Cup competition system is very complicated: in the first round, the third-level teams and qualified D-level teams were eliminated first, and 18 teams were decided; The second round was held in West B. Last season, the top 20 in West B decided the team of 10.
In the third round, the winning 10 team in the second round was mixed with the 18 team in the first round, four relegation teams in West B and two designated teams in West C, and the 17 team was decided. In the fourth and fifth rounds, 17 team plus 1 1 La Liga team that does not need to participate in the European tournament, seven teams were decided after two rounds of elimination.
In the sixth round, the seven teams and nine teams in La Liga who participated in the above-mentioned European competitions formed a 16 team, from which two rounds of home and away games were played until the champion was decided.
