Scottish Cup Pop Up 2022-23

It's back. The ever-popular prediction competition.

Can we match last year's exciting finish when Peaty FC pipped long-time leader, Garscube Road End 2, by 1 point in the final game? Who knows?

Draw for the First Round takes place tomorrow.

Ladies and Gentlemen, sharpen your HAHA's.

Thank you, BB. Looking forward to it. Recent developments at Firhill make me even more keen than ever to favour the underdog against the establishment. So again I am entering as particktheunderdog.

I wonder if the talk of the steamie  in Liverpool and Bournemouth today is all about yesterday's Cup preliminary Wigtown & Bladnoch v Dunipace game*?

 

* For those unaware the away side edged it 0-12!

A good chance that David Grant will be the tournament top scorer this  season after scoring  9 on Saturday.

How to play

Select the teams that will make it through to the next round.

In the early rounds you can freely select any team. From Round 5 you can only select from teams that you picked in the previous round.

Selection Points

One point for each correct selection in the First Round. This will increase by one point in each successive round. Therefore, a correct selection in the Final is worth eight points.

Seeding Points

Teams are seeded according to the league that they play in. There are 6 groups - Premiership; Championship; League One; League Two; Highland/Lowland leagues; East of Scotland/South of Scotland/West of Scotland/North Caledonian & SJFA leagues and others.
Points will be awarded if your selected team knocks out a team from a higher group. One point per level plus an extra point if away win.

Where applicable, seeding points are shown adjacent to each tie when fixtures are published.

How to post selections

Decide whether the Home or Away team will win.

Post, on this thread, as a string of H's & A's e.g. HAHHHAAHAH

Submission must be posted before the set deadline.

I am going first, which means that you have to record my results first, and therefore I will be top of the league temporarily before I am overhauled by the baying mob

I've put a  timer on this. Once all the results are entered for each round you will be top of the league for at least 0.0078 seconds before the sort routine completes.

That's something, eh?
