This year's edition of the FA Cup tipping comp runs for 7 months over 10 rounds from 12th November 2011 until 5th May 2012 (FA Cup Round 1 through to the Final). The Football Association has received entries from 763 teams for this season's FA Cup, comprising 671 non-league teams plus the 92 league teams. The league teams are the 44 teams in the FAPL and FLC, and the 48 teams in League One and League Two.- the qualifying rounds for the 671 non-league teams will be completed today and tomorrow.
- the 32 survivors from those qualifiers join the 48 teams in L1 and L2 in the First Round (equals 80 teams).
- the 20 survivors from the Second Round will join the FAPL and FLC teams in the Third Round (equals 64 teams).
- from there it's a straight knock-out through to the FA Cup Final.
Although there are 10 rounds in the tipping comp we only lodge picks on 8 occasions:- the First Round of 40 games will be split into two rounds of 16 games each by ignoring 8 games.
- the Second Round has 20 games .. 4 games are ignored.
- the Third Round of 32 games is be split into two rounds of 16 games each.
- that's 5 tipping rounds which, with the remaining 5 rounds of the FA Cup, gives us the 10 tipping rounds!
- we also have advance picks so that each round is worth 16 pts.
|
The dates for each round are as follows:
1st Round : Saturday 12 November 2011
2nd Round : Saturday 3 December 2011
3rd Round : Saturday 7 January 2012
4th Round : Saturday 28 January 2012
5th Round : Saturday 18 February 2012
6th Round : Saturday 17 March 2012
7th Round : Saturday 14 April 2012
8th Round : Saturday 5 May 2012
The rules for the FA Cup tipping comp are simple (they're the same as last year):
points default upsets perfect picks other bonus pts dead-heats | one point for each correct pick .. home win, draw, away win in other words, it's always at 90 minutes. if you forget to pick, the away teams are all yours (ineligible for bonus pts); but if the wooden spoon score is higher, default is the wooden spoon; default for the semi-finals, the final and advance picks is the wooden spoon score. you score a bonus point if you pick a game solo .. or one of two players. one bonus point for 11+/16; 14/16 or higher receives a further bonus point (plus a knighthood from Her Majesty). no one picks win, whoever picks a draw; no one picks draw, whoever picks the upset win; if you pick all home teams (or all bar one), ineligible for bonus pts. weekly wins vs. wooden spoon countback determine podium finishes; if they're identical, bonus pts will be used. |
This year's comp is the 10th edition of the FA Cup tipping comp. Last season's comp was won by
KrivoyRog.

| The first ever FA Cup tournament was held back in 1872. It is the oldest knock-out football tournament in the world (known as soccer to the rest of us) .. 16 years later the oldest league in the world was formed (everyone plays everyone else home and away), when The Football League was formed in 1888. The record number of entrants for the FA Cup was 656 set back way back in 1922 comp; it remained unbroken for 83 years, when 660 teams entered the 2005 comp. The record has been broken each year since .. the 763 teams in this year's comp is a new record.
The draw for each round of the entire comp is unseeded, and the balls are redrawn from the barrel for every round .. anyone can play anyone. The 671 non-league teams played through Preliminary Rounds x2 and Qualifying Rounds x4 for the 32 spots available in the First Round, alongside the 48 teams in League One and League Two. The 20 survivors from these 80 teams join the 44 FAPL and FLC teams in the Third Round, as follows:
teams 44 + 20 64 7-Jan-12 Third Round (KO from here to the final) + 40 40 3-Dec-11 Second Round (20 progress to Third Round) 48 + 32 80 12-Nov-11 First Round (40 progress to Second Round) 24 + 40 64 1-Nov-11 Fourth Round Qualifying* (32 progress to First Round) + 80 80 15-Oct-11 Third Round Qualifying (40 progress to 4RQ) 44 + 116 160 1-Oct-11 Second Round Qualifying (80 progress to 3RQ) 65 + 167 232 17-Sep-11 First Round Qualifying (116 progress to 2RQ) 130 + 204 334 3-Sep-11 Preliminary Round (167 progress to 1RQ) 408 408 20-Aug-11 Extra Preliminary Round (204 progress to PR) --- 763 ---
1st column = the 763 entrants and where they enter the comp 2nd column = survivors from previous round 3rd column = number of teams playing in this round
Last year's tipping comp had 18 runners; all of us except one are back for another dose. We have four runners this year: Dizart, rxbigdawg, superhooppete and wwe84. Welcome aboard! The record number of entrants for the FA Cup tipping comp was 18 set in 2004 (equalled last year). We have broken that record with 21 runners this year.
The first round of the tipping comp produced two upsets (one was picked by no-one and one was a solo pick by triviapaul), and one game was picked by everyone. Three players picked 10/16 for a bonus point, and two of them our are early season leaders: N-Bomb and triviapaul. Results for Round 1b will be posted later today.

N-Bomb and I are 10/16 here and 0/5 in the A-League, I guess we are using the same dart board

| N-Bomb has shaken off triviapaul (he fell back to 7th place) and is now in the lead solo .. srini701 was a point behind in 3rd but is now 4 pts behind as this round's winners, PaulE and LeoDaVinci, push him aside.
Once again we had one game picked by no-one, but this time we had no game with a 100% strike rate.
There was a delay between the post for Round 1a and this post for Round 2b due to TV scheduling by The FA. The last game in Round 1a started at 1:30pm local time (11:30pm in Sydney) and finished just under two hours later. The last game for Round 2b started 15 minutes later at 2:15pm and finished just after 4:00 am downhere.
As stated by dg_dave in the previous post, the second reason for this split is the need to have 16 pts for each round of this tipping comp (see first post in this thread).
The draw for the Second Round has been announced. The tipping thread is here : FA Cup - 2nd Round - Sat 3 Dec. Some games have three team-names as we await the outcome of those replays over the next week or so.

rxbigdawg and superhooppete are this round's winners with picks of 10/16. They also score a bonus point each for reaching double figures.
PaulE joins superhooppete to make it x2 Englishmen at the top of the pile .. that's one from the south of England and one from up north.
LeoDaVinci avoided the cross-fire and retains 3rd spot. He was the only player in the top half of the table to retain their spot from the previous round.
The two Manchester clubs have been drawn to play each other in the Third Round. Manch City and their squillions will have another opportunity to defeat their neighbours United, and their paltry millions : bbc.co.uk/facup

| This round's winners are KrivoyRog and George95 with 11/16. They also scored a bonus point each. We've now had nine weekly winners and no repeats .. aka no-one has hit pay dirt twice.
ozzz2002 had a go at achieving Immortal status but just failed .. in his endeavour to become the first person to score 0/16 in any tipping comp. He got the first game right and all the others wrong; for 1/16 and this week's wooden spoon. He's the first to collect two spoons.
superhooppete retains the lead. He's put another pt between himself and second place. Behind him no-one kept their spot from last week apart from paper_aero in 17th and ozzz2002, who has an iron-clad grip on last place.
Results for Round 3b will be posted on Monday night after the last match of the round is played - Arsenal v Leeds Utd.

|
| paper_aero and trev1 are this round's winners; and the trend continues .. we've now had 11 different weekly winners so far this season .. aka no-one has hit pay dirt twice.
N-Bomb collects this round's wooden spoon to make it two for the season .. and match the pair held by ozzz2002. Between them they've collected 4 of the 7 spoons awarded so far this season.
superhooppete is still our leader. His margin over PaulE is steady at 2 pts. The two leaders and the tail-ender were the only players who retained their position from last week! The rest of us (18 of 21) all moved up or down.
We've now reached the half-way point in the FA Cup tipping comp .. 5 rounds of picks done, 5 rounds to go. At the half-way mark last year Howie72 was leading, and finished off the podium .. the winner, KrivoyRog, was 12 pts behind Howie72 at the half-way mark and won it by a margin of 5 pts at the finish post. In other words, the fat lady hasn't started singing.
Round 4 is at the end of the month: Saturday 28th Jan 2012. Maybe this time the correct winners of the replays will be entered in the list of matches.

| superhooppete and srini701 are this round's winner. They're the first to score two weekly wins for the season. BxBarracuda and ozzz2002 also collect their second weekly award for the season, another wooden spoon each.
No change out front, the first five are the same as the first five last round .. ditto at the rear, no change there either.
illiniman14 missed the first two games, which were brought forward to Friday night, but still scores a point for the Spurs game as a gimme (everybody picked Spurs to win). Threads are renamed where games are brought forward by more than 24 hours (e.g. see FLC Tue 31st Jan, where two games were b/f by three days to Sat 28th Jan). Those of us who chose Manchester United to make the semis (14 players) or the quarters (16 players) have already lost an advance pick or two. We can thank senor Kenny Dalglish and Liverpool for that one .. paper_aero covered both bases as he chose *both* Liverpool and Manch Utd to make the quarters!
Newcastle United also lost .. that's another 13 picks for the quarters down the drain, and 4 picks for the semis. There were some more picks that went down the gurgler with Manch Utd and Newcastle .. a complete summary of the advance picks follows in the next post.

| trivipaul is this round's winner. He joins superhooppete and srini701 as the only players to score two weekly wins for the season.
Dizart and srini701 collect a wooden spoon each, their first for the season. Dizart fell three rungs down the table but srini701 managed to hold on to 3rd spot. The other wooden spooner was wwe84 .. that's his 2nd for the season, to match those of ozzz2002 and N-Bomb.
There were 26 bonus pts this round, which must be an all-time record for any FT comp. No one chose Sunderland to lead at half-time, but 18 of 20 had picked a draw! Ditto at Stamford Bridge .. no one chose Birmingham to be leading at half-time, but 8 of us had a draw.
superhooppete extends his lead out front, again. It's now a whopping 6 pts .. the next 6 pts cover 12 players! A summary of our advance picks is in the post above this one. Six of us have just lost an advance pick for the two finalists (that's 2 points down the gurgler), and one bloke has lost his advance pick for the winner .. that's 6 pts down the gurgler!
One of the four quarter-finals will not be an all-Merseyside affair - Everton and Liverpool have avoided each other in the quarter-final draw: FA Cup - 6th Round - Sat 17 March

yep, that looks like an add error, but let me check it when I get home; as I don't have the printout with me. It'll be via mobile phone as we have no phone-lines and no internet .. the next door neighbour is rebuilding his house and his builders re-arranged the footpath, the gutter and then the road (when they were re-connecting the water and the sewer) .. the remodelling was a demolition job.
fixed!

| His 6 pts lead out front wasn't enough for Mr QPR .. he scores yet another weekly win and extends his lead to a very healthy 8 pts. PaulE retains 2nd spot 3pts in front of the mob. There are eight players in the peloton, separated by just 3 pts!
Apart from the two leaders and ozzz2002 at the rear of the field, no-one retained their spot from last week (aka the previous round). The exception was Sypher.
George95 collected his first wooden spoon, and tumbled 6 spots down to 16th .. trev1 was the biggest mover in the opoosite direction; he flew up the ladder form 13th to 5th.
There were only 3 solo picks this round, but a mammoth 7 bonus pts were scored by players in double digits 10+/16.
A summary of our remaining advance picks for the semis and final is in the post above this one .. ozz2002 and gtho4 have no live pick for the winner .. that's 6 pts for the final round down the gurgler .. ozzz2002 has alos lost both finalists. PaulE needs to pick wisely for the two semis and final to catch superhooppete .. their remaining advance picks are identical.
The semi-finals sees two derbies: one's an all-Merseyside affair, Everton and Liverpool, and the other one sees two London clubs, Spurs v Chelsea. Both semi-finals will be played at Wembley. FA Cup - 7th Round - Sat 14 April

| KrivoyRog comes out of nowhere with 10/16 and flies up the standings from mid-table to 2nd place, just 6 pts behind Mr QPR, pushing PaulE back to 3rd spot .. trivipaul also flew up from mid-table tojoin PaulE in equal 3rd place. With just one round left, the 5 players runing 3rd to 7th are still separated by a mere 2 points!
The last round sees the final 16 pts of the tipping comp but, as 10 of those pts are advance picks, some of us are simply too far behind and running dead to fall onto the podium at the finish post:- 6 pts for normal picks (three picks x 2 pts each).
- 4 pts are advance picks - finalists x2 x2 pts ea - 13 players picked one finalist for 2 pts (no-one picked both finalists for the max 4 pts).
- 6 pts for pick the winner (advance pick) - just six players have a live pick for the winner .. which means three players will receive the max 6 pts and three will receive 3 pts for the losing finalist:
LIVERPOOL : Dizart, Howie72, triviapaul CHELSEA : illiniman14, paper_aero, trev1
- the two leaders have no live pick for the winner .. two of those six players are in the group of five running 3rd to 7th.

| Apart from the leader and the four tail-enders, no-one retained their position from the semi-final round!
trev1 and illinman14 came out of nowhere to finish on the podium behind superhooppete. Until today trev1 had never been higher than 5th and illiniman14 (he came home with a humungous 14/16) had never been higher than 7th .. illiniman14 picked the lot except for one advance pick: Liverpool as a finalist.
Dizart & paper_aero also finished at their high point for the season. On the other hand, LeoDaVinci srini701 and Sypher finished at their lowest position for the season.
1st 2nd 3rd | : superhooppete : trev1 : illiniman14 |
This was the 10th edition of the FA Cup tipping competition (the defending titleholder was KrivoyRog). Thank you to everyone who participated, and congratulations to the three medallists!
For superhooppete, aka Mr QPR, this was his first appearance on the podium of any tipping comp, and it was gold! He hit the lead in Round Two and held it all the way to the finsih post.
All of us will now have a well-earned rest until early November, when we start this whole process all over again with the 11th edition.
