With the 3rd round approaching, FA Cup Predicta is back!
We're going to try and go back to the old knockout format this season as long as enough people sign up.
Sign up here if you fancy a head-to-head prediction battle to the death! (or until someone scores more points)
Sign ups will last for 2 weeks. In 2 weeks, the 1st round draw will be made and the fixtures will be posted (I'll get them up early because people might forget over Christmas).
Entries so far: 1. misterhamster 2. Frag 3. Maximo Mark 4. Robin 5. Andy 6. suedehead 7. Earl Purple 8. paddy 9. KingB 10. greendemon 11. Tom

If I understand, I'll join in. It's easy enough to pick up. It works the same way as the Footy Predicta game in this forum, so you might want to take a look at those.

I think I just about got it, I'm a little slow sometimes mrh - does this mean that you'll take care of the scoring for FA Cup weekends? ;D Yes. Absolutely. I think the FA Cup game's always been done separately to the regular game (or at least for the last couple of seasons) with Andy doing the Cup while Robin did the regular Footy Predicta. The regular game usually has a week off for the FA Cup but it's up to you whether you still want to do it using lower league matches on those weekends.

I'm in two minds about that, as especially with the double gameweek for Christmas, people might not want to predict on 20 matches. At the moment, I'm leaning towards giving everyone the week off for 3rd Round day, and then doing matches for the other rounds.

That's fair enough as we should be down to the last 8 in the cup by the time the 4th round comes (assuming we get a few more entries).

Entries are now closed.
Because we have an odd number, Frag, as reigning champion, will receive a bye to the quarter-finals.
The other 10 will be paired into 5 matches. The 5 winners plus the 2 highest scoring losers will go through to the quarter-finals.
The rounds will be based on the following rounds of the FA Cup.
1st round: 3rd round of FA Cup Quarter-finals: 4th round of FA Cup Semi-finals: 5th & 6th round of FA Cup Final: Semi-finals & Final of FA Cup
The 1st round draw will appear here shortly.
