THE TENNER CUP 2022
The FA Cup Third Round draw has been made and marks the start of this season's Tenner Cup competition.
There is a winner takes all prize of £50 for this, so there is something to renew interest for those of us who have lost our way in the league already...
The competition will be played to coincide with the rounds of the actual FA Cup:
First round....... Game week including Sat 8th Jan
Second round.... Game week including Sat 5th Feb
Third round...... Game week including Sat 5th Mar
Quarter Finals... Game week including Sat 19th March
Semi Finals....... Game week including Sat 16th April
Final............... Game week including Sat 14th May
Like last season, the FA Cup Final takes place before the end of the season - this means we avoid the scenario of having just two teams (max) in the final of the Tenner Cup.
Actual games played the week after the Cup Final count for nowt - unless there's a reply**
All games played (Cup and League) during the above game weeks count towards your score!
Drawn games will go to a replay in the next game week (if still tied, will be decided on goals scored over the two weeks - and then if still tied, by the toss of a coin)
**This season it again means there can be a replay in the Cup Final
We have 42 players this season so there will be 22 byes in the first round.
Where a bye was drawn against another bye I've had to be creative and have swapped the second bye for the next team drawn - this ensures we will have 32 bonafide teams in Round 2 (last thing we want is a bye getting through to the second round!) Fortunately this only happened in one tie this season.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!
