There are 31 entrants (MereNovice is the 32nd but he's Merely there to admin) so all teams will be drawn against each other and 1 lucky random team will have a 'bye' to the next round.
In the League Cup our lucky player to draw the 'bye' is Bobbins FC (Nicholas Wright). He is through to the round of 16.
It is a fixed draw and the winner of tie 1 will play the winner of tie 2, the winner of tie 3 will play the winner of tie 4, etc, etc. all the way through to the final.
It'll be H2H knockout and there will be 6 GWs play. The semi finals will be 2 leg affairs.
All -4 hits in a GW will be deducted from your Cup score in that GW. This applies to all cup competitions.
If at any point a GW has less than 6 matches (due to postponements), the Cup GW will be declared void and the fixtures will move to the following week.
All draws will be administered by MereNovice and will be posted in the thread in advance.


If we get a drawn tie, the League Cup does not have replays so we'll go to a 'penalty shootout' tie break. The tie break will be the same as the ingame FPL Cup tiebreak.
If a cup match is drawn, then the following tie-breaks will be applied until a winner is found:
1.Most goals scored in the Gameweek
2.Fewest goals conceded in the Gameweek
3.Virtual coin toss
The virtual coin toss will be administered by Merciless MereNovice.
