FA Cup Prediction Comp (with a twist) 2012/13 ** NOW OPEN **

Post by murf »

Time for the third(!) annual FA Cup Prediction Comp (with the same old twist)

Just predict who you think will win this season's FA Cup. Simple eh? Err, no.... you have to start with a team in Round 1 and use your 'skill' to navigate your way to the final or as far as you can. All subject to the nice twists in the rules (see below).

2011/12 thread - won by Rookster (started with MK Dons)
2010/11 thread - won by eagle 224 (started with Notts County)

1. Simply pick a team that will win their FA Cup round 1 tie (by replay / pens if necessary) see draw on BBC
1A. Note you can only start with a team in the first round and cannot join after the first round.
2. You cannot copy someone else's pick.
3. Win and you go through to the next round, lose you go out. Simple enough for ya?
4. Throughout the comp you can only change your pick in each round to the team your current pick has drawn (e.g. if you have Charlton and they draw Man Utd in round 3 you, and only you, can switch to Man U). This is subject to rule 2. If you draw a team that somebody already has then you are stuck with your pick. Complicated enough for ya?
5. I don't think I'll need to tweak these rules later but I reserve the right to do so!

For round one just copy the last list on the line which keeps the list in alphabetical order by club - club name first, then yours.. Try and keep it in alphabetical order by club. Please check you haven't missed off anybody who has posted since the list you copied. The deadline is when your team kicks off so late entries will get less matches to choose from. Obviously no entries after round 1.

Note: If you want to pick a team still involved in qualification round replays then you pick BOTH teams (as they are listed on the BBC page for the draw, e.g. "Kidderminster Harriers or Corby Town" and get the one that gets into round 1 - no changing.)

NEW EARLY PICKING RULES
- Until midnight (end of) Monday (22 Oct) - entry is limited to genuine fans of the clubs involved
- Until midnight (end of) Tuesday (23 Oct) = entry is limited to clubs you have some connection to (e.g. you live near there / your cousin is their mascot)

No fans of these clubs putting their money where there mouth is then? Are you all that ashamed of your own team????

For today you can pick teams "you have some connection to" folowed by the free-for-all from tomorrow.

Had a tough choice between Forest Green Rovers (1 mile away) , Gloucester City (12 miles away), Yate Town (12 miles away), Cheltenham (12 miles away)and Swindon (The guy I give a lift to is a season ticket holder).

Lets go Swindon Town as they probably have the best chance.

19 in now and no all-FISO ties yet. Just 61 teams/spaces left(!).

I was tempted by one of the three non-league teams closer to me but went for my nearest league club instead.
