Penshaw. Thats what I am doing
Top 32 at end of week before Round 3 will go into hat and be drawn out. I will be putting full rules up in plenty of time.

Teebs, there are approx 15 weeks to qualify. Everyone will know by end of this week. It gives an added incentive to people below 32nd to keep predicting. In previous years there have been less than 30 people still going in second half of season.

I know, just seems unfair to people outside the top 32

Doesn't concern you, clearly
Wumpatrol - I have added £50 extra to prize fund. We are having an FA Cup Knockout for this money. Don't worry about the Top 32 thing. I have an idea.
righto CEF...that's just the FA Cup you're doing is it..& not the Cap Cup..?
have a couple of qualifying rounds with top team having a bye until round 3, much like the actual FA Cup works.
Round 1: 81 teams
67 receive a bye. 14 teams head to head. 7 winners go thru.
Round 2: 74 teams
54 teams receive a bye. 20 teams head to head. 10 winners thru
Round 3: 64 teams. Straight head to head from here on in with no more byes.
Each round will coincide with the FA Cup weekends. It will be scored on whatever matches are put up that week.
So maybe the qualifiers coincide with previous game weeks until you reach 64 teams / FA cup 3rd round?
Just throwing it out there.

Already lost quite a few participants. I am going to only include people still involved by 3rd Round week. Depending on how many that turns out to be, I can then put together draw in a fair way.
Thanks to everyone for their ideas
I think the big guns like myself should get a bye to the semi finals, everyone wants a shot at the best so they need to earn it.

Sounds fair enough. Penshaw will give posters 3 strikes before culling them. Decent pollicy.
My cull will be based on previous 4 weeks.

Earlier, I suggested you start with the top 32 teams at start of Jan in time for 3rd round FACup

says the guy sitting pretty in 3rd
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I was not too sure how many active players there would be at that time in January.
I run a knock out game and have around 30 to 40. It is possible to have elimination rounds to get down to 32 (needed to continue ko)
