Using affiliated tournaments as minor leagues for Pro/Rel?

I'm trying to find a good way to set up an autopiloted minor league system for a promotion/relegation pyramid. I don't want to have to move minor league affiliates manually, and I don't like the idea of having different tier major leagues with their minor league teams co-mingling.

I've thought about creating a kind of Arizona Fall League, but using it as an in-season minor league system. What could be the best way to go about this? I have found in initial testing that I haven't been successful in coercing teams to loan players out by talent level. (I created analogous dev leagues to AAA, AA, A, R and set their talent levels accordingly).

Just kind of putting these idea out there. Should I create a "tournament" with 6 teams that take players from all 22 in my league? Or give each team its own "affiliate" in the dev league?

A bonus question, has anyone figured out how to set up an FA Cup kind of tournament without manual interference?
