The "Coppa Oltremella" is a private Cup organised by the italian Federation "Oltremella"[1]. The Cup was initiated as a friendly Cup between managers from the region of Brescia, and is today open to managers from all over Italy. The Cup is played in the second half of every season, starting from week 8. The Cup has been played for 11 seasons so far.
History
The "Coppa Oltremella" (or "Coppa O!") was founded in March 2008 by andreben80, and played it's first edition from 15.4.2008. The initial editions comprised only directly connected managers, mostly from the district Torricella in Brescia. This regional extraction was seminal to the naming of the Cup: "oltre Mella" describes the districts of Brescia "on the other side of the river Mella". With the departure of some of the original founder-teams, the Cup opened admission to other teams from Brescia. Today the Cup is open to managers from all over Italy. In order to maintain its private character, admission preference is nowadays given to teams that have covered themselves with glory in past editions.

Cup Rules
The competition mode:
The first editions of the Coppa Oltremella (I, III-V) have been played by eight teams with direct elimination. The second and sixth edition (II, VI) saw a 16 team tournament with a group phase of 4 teams per group where a single team qualified for the semifinals – a modus that did not find much appreciation. Since the seventh (VII) edition, the Cup is played with 16 teams - a group phase of 4 teams per group with the two best teams from each group qualifying for the following eliminatory phase. Matches of the group phase are played are played on neutral ground with normal rules, with matches between teams from different regions being played in an arena in a third region. In the eliminatory phase, again matches are played on neutral ground, but Cup rules are applied.
