FA Cup Predictions League 2020/21 Rules and Postings Thread Here we are again for another season of seeing which minnows are going to upset the favourites, and which favourites are going to take it seriously. For the first time the third round will be without fans and so one element of the cup magic will be lost ie. small clubs getting bumper crowds in small stadiums. Which clubs will adapt best to these 'ghost' matches ? The rules and scoring system are exactly the same as last year - mainly because I'm too lazy to think up anything different. In contrast to the other league, our guest from the BBC will be taking part in this one. For all the rounds up to, and including the Quarter finals, you just tip winners ie. who you think will get through. For example Man Utd v Watford A means you think the Horns will get through - tips cannot be changed in the event of replays (are they having those this year ?). The scoring system is as follows: Third round - 10 points for each winner. Fourth Round - 20 points for each winner Fifth Round - 40 points for each winner Quarter finals - 80 points for each winner So up to this stage there is a maximum of 320 points for each round. For the Semis you no longer pick winners but rather scorelines after normal time (ie. 90mins plus stoppage time). What happens in extra time is irrelevant. Right result wrong scoreline eg. 2-1 against 3-0 wins you 40 points Right result correct score difference eg. 2-1 against 1-0 wins you 80 points. Correct scoreline wins you 160 points eg. 2-1 against 2-1 For the Final you get 60 points for the right result 120 points for the right result and score difference 240 points for an absolutely correct scoreline after 90 mins+. For the semis and the final you do not have to pick a winner - if you tip eg. 0-0 and the result is 1-1 it qualifies as right result plus right score difference. The set of fixtures for the third round will appear in the next post.
