Post Body

I was having a look at the FA Cup on wikipedia ahead of the first round this weekend and stumbled on the page for the qualifying rounds, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024–25_FA_Cup_qualifying_rounds

It seems that wikipedia is deeming a cup upset any result where a team from two leagues below wins a tie. I don't think I agree with that. Would the league leaders in League Two beating the team bottom of the Championships really be a cup upset for example? Surely you need to add extra context before defining a cupset?
