Posted August 25, 20204 yr After the success of last year's tournament, I thought I'd bring this back again! Here's a little reminder of everything: 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 (it's changed a bit from last year so pay attention!): - 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 - There are no replays this year, however a losing team will recieve an extra point if the game goes to extra time, and two extra points if the game goes to penalties. - 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 Monday 31st August just before the first matches. Sign up in this thread!

August 31, 20204 yr AFC Darwen are a "Phoenix" club formed in 2009 when the original Darwen FC folded. That club had been FA Cup semi-finalists in 1880-81, and played in the Football League from 1891-99. The rest of their existence was spent at lower levels. AFC Darwen started off in the West Lancashire League for their debut season, and have played in the North West Counties League ever since. This is their fifth FA Cup appearence with only one win (a 3-1 win over Barnton in 2018-19) to their credit.
