Hi all!

With the first round of the FA Cup in a matter of days, I thought I'd introduce yet another sweepstake to the Sports Forum... however this one has a twist

Everyone who agrees to take part will be assigned a team which is taking part in the Extra Preliminary Round of the FA Cup. Each poster will then acquire points based on the team they are assigned, however if your team is knocked out, you will be assigned the team which beat your team. This means that everyone who enters will be able to accumulate points right up until the Final.

Here's how the points system will work:
- If your team wins, you will be awarded 5 points, plus the final goal difference of the match (excluding penalties)
- If your team loses, you will be awarded the number of goals scored by your team as points
- In the event of a replay, the same rules apply, however the losing team will also gain points for goals scored in the original match.
- If one team wins by default (e.g. a walkover) the 'winning' team will be awarded 5 points and the 'losing' team nothing.

If you miss the deadline for the first round then you can still participate and I will allocate you a team participating in the second round, however obviously you won't have any points from the first round.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

I'll draw teams on the evening of Friday 9th August just before the first matches. Sign up in this thread!

So it’s a bit like the ‘Road to Wembley’ idea except it’s a sweepstake! Cool idea, I’m up for it!

Posted by: King Rollo 5th August 2019, 03:32 PM

Yes please. It sounds fun.

I wonder how early on we'll have our first match with two of the sweepstake partakers playing each other. Possibly the 4th Qualifying Round?

For anyone who wants to get their FA Cup fix straight away, the BBC are going to be broadcasting one of the Extra Preliminary Rounds on the iPlayer. So if you fancy watching Punjab United FC play Broadbridge Heath, https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49130118. It'll probably smash records for the most viewed football match between two clubs at that level.

What happens when two of us play each other?

Both people carry on with the same team, but obviously the person with less points won't be able to win from that point on.

Posted by: King Rollo 10th August 2019, 11:54 AM

An early lead will be important then. Whoever gets through the early rounds with the same team winning will have an advantage later on.

3-0 to Longlevens, to set up a glamour tie with Northwood FC in the next round (they're a division above them, so it'll be a toughie).

The fixture in the Extra Preliminary Round that the BBC will be streaming this Saturday will be Heather St John's vs Worcester.

I'm not sure if there was a particularly reason why this fixture in particular piqued the BBC's interest (I'm guessing the reason why Punjab FC were shown last round was because there was a BBC documentary made about them), although it has been suggested that it's because https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49394974, beating Liverpool in the process.

Posted by: Mack. 21st August 2019, 07:59 PM

They haven't had their own stadium since 2013 when St George's Lane was sold to property developers. They went down to the ninth tier due to rising costs. And since then no new stadium, stadium plans rejected by the council.

So basically whoever wins this match eliminates the other competitor from the sweepstake. They’re both in the same level on the pyramid, so fingers crossed that Longlevens pull it off.

I forgot to look out for Shepton Mallet's replay result. Great to see them win it away from home.

The match in this weekend's FA Cup Qualifying Round that is being shown by the BBC is Thatcham Town vs Salisbury. The latter team is managed by Steve Claridge, whom those of us who played Championship Manager religiously in the early 00s will know a former Premier League star for Leicester City & Birmingham.

It is already impossible for me to win here so I've presumably just got to hope Sheff Utd can beat Arsenal so I can avoid finishing joint bottom.
