The SPFL having a rule that forces clubs to take part in a tournament - even if they lose money as a result - sounds about right.

I'd like to see us include all youth players and treat them as bounce games.

If you genuinely believe that league clubs should be allowed to pick and choose what tournaments they enter you are dafter than first appeared. Can they pick and choose fixtures too? Nothing to play for in April so call it a day.

I see SPFL web page has renamed last season's cup with this season's sponsor.

And when you go in the format page it is in the new Tunnocks colours but has the format for the cup for 2018-19

Hopeless shower of shite

You have to field your 'first team' and hardly a draconian rule as it was the clubs that agreed the rules.   It is also about treating companies who are willing to sponsor Scottish football with respect.

I doubt you have to play your first team.  Dunfermline played the 'colts' agianst Inverness last year.

At the risk of repeating myself:

Not interested in any game where the team has 'Colts' attached to it I'm afraid.

SPFL totally ruined a perfectly good tournament ...Shame on them, not attended any Challeng cup  game in new format and never will, which is a shame as was an enjoyable cup tournament up until then for lower league teams

If in round 1 HFL & LL supporters showed  the same disdain for the Colts inclusion by staying away from games involving them there could be even more embarrassment  with crowds  in two figures, while maybe 2 men & their dog would not be recorded as a official attendance anything under 100 at  a game would be funny. Our man from Berwick would probably be able to come up with the  least attended game since the Colts introduction.

Probably been mentioned but maybe noteworthy if not that they've chosen an English club to represent Wales (TNS) and a Welsh club to represent England (Wrexham). Surprised that the Bohemians have been offered another go.

Its been mentioned a few times.

The literature sent to the “foreign” teams also caveats that certain dates of the further rounds “depends on competing teams”, which appears to give carte blanche for the Irish teams to play when it suits their season again!

Its a condition of SPFL membership that clubs in Championship to L2 participate in both League Cup and Challenge Cup - thus if you don't want to play you either need to resign from membership or at the least face a substantial fine. 

Some clubs it would probably be more beneficial just to pay a fine than the loss they will experience from these matches!
