And I typed 64 names but theres been bit of confusion as to first come first serve I think but I'll leave that to logical man lol.
No offense RR but rules are rules and everyone needs to be treated the same. You received a pm like everyone else to join and unfortunately 64 members beat you to it.
If I add a 65th the maths don't add up, its 64 goes into last 32, last 16, quarters, semis and final.
Sorry mate, hope you're not offended. Next time you'll be the first one I pm
Thanks Danny
Well done
Hey Danny, I wasn't ignoring the PM, I was out of the country and don't receive pm notifications on tapatalk apart from emails which I didn't open out there.
I would have joined but glad you got your numbers in mate.

Cheers mate,
I know members weren't ignoring me on purpose and everyone's busy but its still nice of you to explain. Its a shame you missed out, I'll try and keep you in mind for next time because I'm sure this is the start of a regular thing.
All the best,
Dannyboi
You've plummeted in my estimations.
Any chance of advising what the format of the tipping league is to be and how it works? We've all been matched up with clubs, but is this just a sweepstake to see who wins? If that's the case I'm odds on favourite already even though I'd rather not be with them.
I've been matched to Blackburn.
"They won it one time. They won it one time. The FA Cup, they won it one time".

My understanding is it is a tipping league. So the team you are assigned is drawn against another team in the cup and you have to out tip your opponent. Should you win but the assigned team loses. You take on that assigned team.
Cheers Danny,
I cant believe you matched me up with eventual winners....Barnsley or Chester.

Spot on Lighthouse, The club is only for the purpose of the draw. There's no sweepstake or advantage. You can only advance by gaining more points from your predictions.
despite my displeasure with drawing millwall, I did omit my sincere thanks for setting this up - thank you.
cheers
Wigan. The cup has been a good friend to them of late. Nice work.
Hi everyone, just a quick update because there's been a slight mix up. Somehow when getting 64 to sign up I have miscalculated and forgotten to include FFC73 and dgnffc. I hhad this pointed out to me by ffc73 and I can confirm after double checking the original sign up post that they were comfortably in the 64. So the bottom two are very lucky indeed for my inability to count.
Because the club list has already been confirmed Logical Man and I will drop out and be replaced by ffc73 and dgnffc.
We will now be first reserves along with ridge rider who just missed out originally. You will be given a time to submit your scores by, probably midnight the day before the first game. The reserves will replace the first three who fail to meet the deadline and anyone after that will receive a bye to the next round with their opponent eliminated.
My mix up doesn't affect any of you at the moment and it won't at all providing you predict on time. I just felt it was right to keep you all in the loop.
I have scrutinised the list and there is no one else missing, so hopefully this is the only hiccup in what should be a fun tournament.
Take care 64, or should I now say 67 lol.
Dannyboi
Thanks for that. I just thought that I'd been missed out so wasn't really expecting anything as all the teams had been assigned.
Very nice of you.

No worries. It was the right thing to do and I appreciated you signing up in the first place. You should have messaged me if you'd already noticed!
Anyway no harm done in the end, keep an eye out for the draw.
Concord rangers..... I may have the lowest team left in the cup?
I am going to do them proud with my predictions

Lol and they drew their game the other night. So they're still going strong and I believe it's the only first round fixture not decided yet.
Do them proud deano my son!
Sheepskin junior matched to derby. That's a match made in heaven.

That's nice of ya but ill be ok I'm not in it because I left FFC73 out by accident and it was only right to give up my place. I'm a reserve anyway and no doubt someone will miss the deadline to enter their scores.
It would also look bad if the organiser was assisting a contestant so ill say thanks but ill pass.
Cheers for the gesture anyway
Dannyboi
Please remind me what we have to do

When I post a handful of fixtures from the third round simply post your predictions on this thread just like you did to ask this question. The person from each tie who is the most accurate will go through.
If you're struggling nearer the time PM me and ill help you
Ok thanks. It"s quite exciting isn't it

Thanks I'm glad you think so. It'll be fun! Do you understand how it works now because I have high expectations of you! You're my favourite to win it at the moment just down to the fact you will have lady luck on your side and if you're anything like my Mrs you will predict everything right as she does to my annoyance most of the time lol

whats happening with this?

The fixtures will go up by the end of the working week, we have selected 16 games for prediction and one of them is the man utd game. There's no point asking you to predict when I don't know who man utd are playing yet. The replay is tomorrow night.
You will still have 2 weeks to predict and I will pm anyone with a few days to go to remind them. I'm glad your keeping an eye out though Ben! Keep it up!
