If you want to understand the romance of the cup, please set the clock back a decade when Skolars played Wath Brow as a good NCL2 team and were just defeated in a very good contest.

Because that is what it is referred to. In the FA Cup in football, after the qualifying stages, the first round is called the FA Cup First Round Proper.

So in one fell swoop you dismiss all those who have played already, will play in this round, and those who have put time and effort into the games so far.
