    FA Cup Sweep

    Going to do a sweep for the FA Cup.

    It'll be slightly different to a normal sweep. In this one, everyone who wants to take part will be drawn at random and they will take turns in choosing a fixture from 1-32. The winner of the 3rd Round tie will be your team for the sweep.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    There's 32 fixtures so we need 32 players. It's going to be $25 a man so the prizepool will be $800

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We're going to be paying 7 spots in this :

    Winner - $400
    R/Up - $180
    Semi's - $60 + $60
    Top Scorer (Player) - $40
    Most goals in a match (Total goals but Winning Team gets paid) - $30
    Heaviest Defeat (Losing Team) - $30

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    • Extra Time will count for all games/goalscorers etc, but penalties don't.
    • All 3rd Round games count, so it's possible to win both Most Goals/Heaviest Defeat in the same match. We are only going to start counting from the 3rd round on so any results/goals scored in earlier rounds don't count.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    People will need to transfer $25 to a (MrsF's) Pokerstars account which is sn mystictarot to take part.
    We won't begin the draw until we have received all 32 payments.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The 32 fixtures are as follows (There is still some outstanding 2nd round ties to be played, and if we receive 32 payments before they are complete, you get all 3 teams)

    1 Middlesbrough v Shrewsbury Town
    2 Nottingham Forest v Leicester City
    3 Manchester City v Manchester United
    4 Dagenham & Redbridge or Walsall v Millwall
    5 Crawley Town v Bristol City
    6 Doncaster Rovers v Notts County
    7 Bristol Rovers v Aston Villa
    8 Tottenham Hotspur v Cheltenham Town
    9 Sheffield Wednesday v West Ham United
    10 Milton Keynes Dons v Queens Park Rangers
    11 Hull City v Ipswich Town
    12 Coventry City v Southampton
    13 Brighton & Hove Albion v Wrexham
    14 Fulham v Charlton Athletic
    15 Birmingham City v Wolverhampton Wanderers
    16 Norwich City v Burnley
    17 Arsenal v Leeds United
    18 Derby County v Crystal Palace
    19 Fleetwood Town or Yeovil Town v Blackpool
    20 Swindon Town v Wigan Athletic
    21 Barnsley v Swansea City
    22 Chelmsford City or Macclesfield Town v Bolton Wanderers
    23 Newcastle United v Blackburn Rovers
    24 Everton v Tamworth
    25 Sheffield United v Salisbury City or Grimsby Town
    26 Liverpool v Southend United or Oldham Athletic
    27 Gillingham v Stoke City
    28 Chelsea v Portsmouth
    29 Watford v Bradford City
    30 Peterborough United v Sunderland
    31 West Bromwich Albion v Cardiff City
    32 Reading v Stevenage

                Yes there is. However you havnt stated a replay in the rules anywhere so thought it would be better to point it out. what happens in the event of a replay? does the replay count as a separate game or do the goals from both get added together for the highest scoring game etc?

                  It's a seperate game obv. If goals officially count towards the overall goalscorer, then that works for us too

                              Tony,

                              Will you take a Bank Transfer? I killed my stars account for 3 months last month.

                              Also, Is it possible to buy two shares?

                                      Do you want to transfer it on another account? I'd accounts on everything or moneybookers aswel if you want. Could do bank transfer aswel if you want. You can buy a few shares if you want, no probs

                                                  Have one more transfer from Geb*******. Thought Dimo had a different sn so not sure.

                                                  Anyone else in for this because we'd like to have 32 obv to fill it out. If we only get a few more before it's due to kick off, i'm going to stop it at 16 and every player will get 2 picks

                                                              Sorry about the delay, pokerstars locked my account because apparantly i have an association with some other player who owes them money! I told them to unlock it or close the account immediately as i don't know what they're on about, so they've just lifted the restrictions.

                                                              Just transferred there. How many are in at the moment?

                                                                You shipped in €€€ and it's a $$$ entry so will get you shipped back the odds shortly

                                                                -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                                FA Cup kicks off in 12 days and we've only 12 entries so far. Considering we still have to go through the process of choosing our teams, there's 0 chance we'e going to reach 32 players so going to stop at 16 players and we'll all pick 2 ties.

                                                                That means we'll have $400 in the prizepool rather than $800 which is disappointing so if anyone wants out, let me know and i'll ship you back the funds.

                                                                If we want to keep the original pay system, we'll have to cut all the original prizes in half

                                                                We're going to be paying 7 spots in this :

                                                                Winner - $400 ($200)
                                                                R/Up - $180 ($90)
                                                                Semi's - $60 + $60 ($30 + $30)
                                                                Top Scorer (Player) - $40 ($20)
                                                                Most goals in a match (Total goals but Winning Team gets paid) - $30 ($15)
                                                                Heaviest Defeat (Losing Team) - $30 ($15)
                                                                If people want to do away with the rest and just pay top 2, let me know and i'll go with the majority.

                                                                Only 4 more entries allowed and then we'll sort out picks

I think even 16 players is too small because it's not attractive enough to keep interest until May. Disappointing really that only 16 have signed up

I think even 16 players is too small because it's not attractive enough to keep interest until May. Disappointing really that only 16 have signed up
                                                                                          Up to you Tony, but if struggling to get to 16 (and you were ok with going ahead with it), I can ship another entry today.

                                                                                          Comment

We could just scrap the Most Goals, Top Scorer etc but that's what would always give people who kicked lower ranked teams a chance of getting the money. If we just have a winner/R Up payout, then it takes half the fun out of it imo. I'll see how today goes but if you want to ship again, i'll leave it up to you!
