* Since the original cup date has been postponed from 18th August to 15th September every team that has signed up so far will not suffer the 1 season max experience restriction for any season that started after the original cup date (ie: UGC new 6v6 Season starting early September), other restrictions still apply to these teams

** UGC 6v6 experience on Silver division of 1 season maximum
** UGC 6v6 experience on Steel division for more than 1 season
** ETF2L experience on div6 for more than 1 season or placed above mid-table

These restrictions are in place to ensure this stays a '''newbie-only''' cup.
