FA Cup Predictions League 2015/16 Like last year I am setting up a Predictions League for the FA. Cup, with the 3rd round scheduled for 9th January - so still lots of time. The scoring is as follows. You are required only to pick the team you think will get through. e.g. Watford v Newcastle H if you think the Horns will get through or Exeter City v Liverpool A if you think Liverpool will get through. For the 3rd round you get 10 points for every correct tip. Maximum 320 pts. For the fourth round 20 points per winner. Maximum 320 pts. For the fifth round 40 points per winner. Maximum 320 pts. For the Quarter Finals 80 points per winner. Maximum 320 pts. From the Semi Finals the system changes to one based on the actual scoreline after 90 Mins. (Normal time - without extra time). Exactly the same as for the WPL. Tip the scoreline correctly e.g. Watford v Liverpool 2-1 and you get 200 points . For the correct result but wrong scoreline eg. you tip 2-0 and it is 5-1 then you get 50 points. There is a 50 point bonus for the right score difference eg. 1-0 and you tip 2-1, would score 50 plus a 50 bonus. Correctly tipping a draw eg. 1-1 against a scoreline of 0-0 would score 90 points. For the final all the scores from the semis are doubled. ie. 400 for the absolutely correct scoreline after 90 mins. I will explain the scoring also round for round. Fixtures for the 3rd round will appear on this thread in the next couple of days.
Good luck with this Cologne - I am not going to enter as I am aware that at any time I may need to go AWOL for some time but as with the league I will observe with interest.
For any early birds here are the fixtures for the 3rd round - planned for the weekend 9th/10th January. Just a reminder there are 10 points on offer for every winner (ie. the team which goes through). Tips made cannot be subsequently changed for replays. As an example with eg. Arsenal v Sunderland place an H (for home win) if you think Arsenal will go through and A if you think Sunderland will go through. January 9th/10th.
