This year's edition of the FA Cup tipping comp runs for 7 months over 10 rounds from Saturday 3rd November 2012 until Saturday 11th May 2013 (FA Cup Round 1 through to the Final). The Football Association has accepted entries from 758 teams for this season's FA Cup, comprising 666 non-league teams plus the 92 league teams. The league teams are the 44 teams in the FAPL (20) and FLC (24), and the 48 teams in League One and League Two (24 each).- the 4th and last qualifying round for the 666 non-league teams will be played 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 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 3 November 2012
2nd Round : Saturday 1 December 2012
3rd Round : Saturday 5 January 2013
4th Round : Saturday 26 January 2013
5th Round : Saturday 16 February 2013
6th Round : Saturday 9 March 2013 quarters
7th Round : Saturday 13 April 2013 semi-finals
8th Round : Saturday 11 May 2013 FA Cup Final 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 ws score; 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
or one of three if 20 or more runners.
one bonus point for 11+/16;
14/16 or higher receives a further bonus point (plus a knighthood from HM).
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 11th edition of the FA Cup tipping comp. Last season's comp was won by superhooppete. | . | Previous winners & medallists: | | . | 2003

Last year's FA Cup comp set all-time record when 21 runners lined-up at the barriers to participate; the previous record was 18 set in 2004 (equalled in the 2011 comp).
This year we again have 21 runners .. 19 are back for another dose and rxbigdawg & triviapaul are no-shows; their replacements are doomed and toocool4u.
The first round of this year's comp produced three upsets and no game was picked by everyone. Two players picked picked 10/16 for a bonus point, and they're our are early season leaders: PaulE and paper_aero .. gtho4 collected the first wooden spoon on offer with a stupendous 4/16. He failed to beat default.
Round 1b will be completed tomorrow when the last 1st Round game is played.

With two games postponed because of waterlogged pitches and one game brought forward to Friday night, this Round dragged on from Friday 2nd November through to Wednesday 15th November.
PaulE is again a weekly winner and skips away from joint-leader to sole leader with a 3 point break. PaulE and doomed were the only players to keep their spot from the previous Round .. toocool4u, who also picked 13/16 games, is this week's star performer; he flew up the table from 13th to 3rd.
wwe84 collects this week's wooden spoon, and falls to the rear of the field. As was the case in the last round, the wooden spooner failed to beat default.
Between us we had a stupendous strike rate of 62.2% (average of 10/16) with a truckload of bonus points. After just two rounds of picks, everyone bar three players has scored a bonus point. The next round is three weeks away: FA Cup - 2nd Round - Sat 1 Dec.

You've left toocool4u off the Hall of Fame, but show 13 in the table.

With a frozen pitch at Barrow which refused to thaw, the second round dragged on from Saturday 1st December to Tuesday 18th December.
PaulE is no longer leader .. his 3 pt lead out front has evaporated to one below zero .. toocool4u has taken over front-running duties (last week he climbed from 13th to 3rd). The first seven players are now separated by a mere 3 points .. and the first four are separated by a single solitary point!
One of those seven is LeoDaVinci, this week's winner. He scored yet another bs collection of bonus pts and flew up the table all the way from 11th to 5th. George95 scored his first bonus point, to leave just two players looking for their first.
The next round is early next year : FA Cup - 3rd Round - Sat 5 Jan.
