FA Cup Competition 2014

Martyn · Post by **Martyn** » Tue Nov 05, 2013 10:58 am

By popular demand, here is the FA Cup prediction competition for this season, this time starting from the first round which is this coming weekend.

You have to predict the scores (at 90 minutes, or if applicable in the semi-finals and final, 120 minutes) of games posted here.

For the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th round I will nominate 8 games to be predicted, from the 5th round onwards it will be all of the games. No Leeds games will be selected unless we should happen to make the 5th round.

Scoring is as last season:

10 points for exact result and score
7 points for right result and one team's score correct
5 points for right result but neither team's score correct
2 points for wrong result but one team's score correct.

Example: Liverpool v Birmingham. If result is Liverpool 2 Birmingham 1 then

Liverpool 2 Birmingham 1 scores 10
Liverpool 2 Birmingham 0 scores 7
Liverpool 3 Birmingham 0 scores 5
Liverpool 1 Birmingham 1 scores 2
Liverpool 0 Birmingham 1 scores 2
Liverpool 1 Birmingham 2 scores 0

"result" means score at 90 minutes or, where applicable, 120 minutes. Penalty shoot-outs don't count, that game will be marked as a draw.

Looking forward to Shortwood United (who)??? v Port Vale on Monday night live on BT Sport, hopefully a cup upset by the lowest ranked team from the Calor South and West league.

Positions after Round 1:

Shocked to be 3rd, thought I'd be near the bottom with 20 points.
