Posted July 25, 20222 yr We're back! Just over a week until the Extra Preliminary Round gets going so it's time to start our annual Rolling Sweepstake. Here are the rules: Everyone who agrees to take part will be assigned a team which is taking part in the 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 losing team will recieve the sum of the goals scored in both games, plus one additional point. - A losing team will also 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. - NEW FOR 2022/23: Every person taking part will have a 'swap card' which they can play once throughout the tournament. When a player plays the swap card, instead of recieving points for their allocated team, they will recieve the points of their team's opponents. Play your 'swap card' by replying in this thread before the round you'd like to play it! 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. Comment in here if you'd like to take part and I'll do the draw in a week from now. All the best!
