Overview
Preamble
In Switzerland, after the end of the first world war, the 1920s saw a rapid rise in the popularity of top-level football and also a decade of rapid growth in grassroots football and many new football clubs were formed. By the mid-1920s, every larger Swiss town had a football pitch and its own football club. Top level organised football also experienced a boom and the larger already existing clubs were also expanding and growing. Between 1922 and 1930, twelve new football stadiums were built, each with a capacity of over 10,000 spectators. Furthermore, semi- and fully professional football players began to emerge and transfer fees started to become a reality.[1]
The structure of the Swiss championships provided a top-tier Serie A with 27 teams (3 regional groups of 9 clubs) and a second-tier Promotion Series with 54 teams divided into 6 groups. From the third-tier the football system was arranged in the regional leagues, named Serie B, C and D. However, the Swiss league system was suffering a crisis and this had expand during the previous few years. There were continuous disagreements between smaller and larger clubs. These were mainly concerning promotion/relegation procedures which included play-offs between lower-tier group winners and upper-tier group losers. Things came to a peak in exactly this season, due to the fact that at the end of this season there was to be no promotion/relegation between the top two tiers. At this years AGM, held in July, the Swiss Football and Athletics Federation (SFAV), as the Swiss Football Association used to call itself, then decided to reorganise the structures of their championships and that the first, second and third tiers would be re-arranged. The new league would start in 1931. Not only the promotion/relegation procedures were causing discussions, but also due to the expanding professionalism there were differences. The larger clubs continuously contested to take over the better players from thr lower tier clubs by offering the players a wage or at least would offer them semi-professional status, combined with new, better paid jobs with firms who had commercial ties with the club.[2]
Format
The Cup competition that had been introduced four years earlier to relieve these rising differences, was proving to be a success. This season 117 clubs applied to join the cup competition and, therefore, it began with a preliminary round with 53 matches, before the main competition began. This qualifying round, with a few exceptions, was played at the end of August and first week-end of September 1930 in advance of the league season. The first principal round was played, with one exception on Sunday 13 October. The competition was to be completed on Sunday 23 March 1930, with the final, which this year took place in the capital Bern, at the former Wankdorf Stadium.
Each club could enter only one team to the competition, reserve teams were not admitted to the competition. The matches were played in a knockout format. In the event of a draw after 90 minutes, the match went into extra time. In the event of a draw at the end of extra time, if agreed between the clubs, a second extra time was played. If the score was still level at the final whistle, a replay was foreseen and this was played on the visiting team's pitch. If no replay was agreed or the replay ended in a draw after extra time, a toss of a coin would establish the team that qualified for the next round.[3]
