The original system of the King's Cup of Spain was judged by the media as a cup to assist small clubs, because it was eliminated by mixing four Spanish clubs "regardless of grades". The B, C and D clubs that pass the qualifiers have the opportunity to compete with the A clubs, which will stimulate and promote the development of local football and the operation of small clubs. Many third-class teams can earn enough "rations" for one year by virtue of a game against La Liga teams.
However, in the 2005-06 King's Cup competition system reform, low-level teams had to go through several rounds of elimination to meet first-class teams, which reduced the number of matches and the possibility of unexpected matches for La Liga teams, but also greatly reduced the income of many low-level teams.
The reformed King's Cup tournament system is very complicated:
The first round: Team 18 from West C and Team B 18 from West B participated in the competition *** 18.
The second round: 8 teams won in the first round/kloc-0, 6 teams with better performance in Group B of Western Group B, and 2-2/kloc-0 teams from Western Group B participated in the competition, with a total of 22 games.
The third round: the 22 teams that won the second round participated in the competition, *** 1 1 game.
(At the beginning of the fourth round, the home and away two-round competition system, low-level teams play at home first)
The fourth round: 1 1 team, La Liga champion, La Liga 20 team, ***32 team participated in the third round. ***32 games
The fifth round:/kloc-top 0/6, * * * 16 games.
Round 6: 1/4 final, ***8 games.
Round 7: Semifinal, ***4 games.
The eighth round: the final, the final adopts the single-game decisive system, and the final of the King's Cup of Spain does not adopt the home and away two-turn system, but adopts a game to decide the outcome.
