    FA Cup Predictions League 2019/20

    Rules and Postings Thread
    Here we are again. I must admit to not being over excited about the cup this year - maybe a combination of our fight against relegation and our poor performance in the final last year. Maybe this will change over the course of the tournament. Which big clubs will take the tournament seriously this year, and which will bow out prematurely ? Which surprises will there be ? Are Rochdale going all the way this time ? Or could FC Fylde be on their way to glory ?

    The scoring system is the same as last year - which means.

    For the first 4 rounds (up to and including the quarter finals) you simply tip which team will win each tie eg. Watford v Tranmere H means you think Watford will go through. Watford v Tranmere A means you think Tranmere will progress. Once you have tipped a team you cannot change this for a possible replay.

    For the third round you get 10 points for each winner (maximum 320 points if you get all of them - which nobody ever does)
    For the fourth round you get 20 points (maximum 320 for the round)
    For the fifth round you get 40 points for each winner (maximum 320)
    For the quarter finals 80 points for each winner (maximum 320) I think there are no replays at this stage.

    From the semi finals we change to a scoreline based system. For this stage you post a scoreline eg. Liverpool v Man. Utd 4-0 (the team given first is alphabetical)
    If you get the result right with the wrong scoreline you get 40 points eg. you tip 4-0 and the scoreline is 3-0.
    If you get the right result and the right score difference eg. 2-0 against 3-1 then you get the initial 40 points plus 40 points bonus ie. 80 points.
    You can tip draws at this stage and if you tip eg. 1-1 and the result is 0-0 then you also get 80 points - what is important here is the scoreling after normal playing time (what happens in extra time is irrelevant).
    Tip the scoreline exactly eg. 2-1 against 2-1 and you get 160 points for the tie.

    For the final the same principle applies:
    240 points for the correct scoreline eg. 2-1 against 2-1
    120 points for the correct result and score difference eg. 1-0 against 2-1
    60 points for the right result eg. 1-0 against 2-0

    When it comes down to the final the top 3 in the league must tip a different scoreline to each other in order to avoid the possibility of 'cancelling out' your closest competition.

    The next post will include the fixtures for the third round where you just put down an H or an A next to each fixture and I do all the work !

    Well, here they are. There are some mouth watering ties there such as Burton Albion v Northampton and Oxford Utd v Hartlepool (shame Taunton didn't get this far). More seriously who will prevail in the battle of Merseyside, and does Kloppo really care about this one ? All you do is put an H or an A after the matches, and I do all the rest <laugh> The games are played around the 4th of January (they may shift one to Friday night in the meantime), so there is still plenty of time.
