Post subject:  The FA Cup 2005-06 - contest
At work I've started a contest based on The FA Cup. The idea is that you pick a team from an early stage of The FA Cup and watch them progress through towards Wembley (yes, Wembley!). If your team loses you adopt the team that beat yours. By the time we reach the final the person with the fewest defeats is the winner.

If there aren't enough takers we can start from the Second Round Qualifying in a few weeks time, in which case I'll edit this thread and post up a new list.

Rules:
1. Pick one team from the First Qualifying Round list below
2. If your team is beaten your new team is the one that beat yours. Your progress will then depend on the results of this team - yes, an element of luck is involved as you won't be able to choose this team but that's The FA Cup for you!
3. If your team is beaten in the final that counts as a defeat
4. Submit your selected team name to this thread no later than 3pm, Saturday 10th September.
5. If there are few takers (6 or less) we will start the contest again in a few weeks time. You will have the opportunity of changing your team.
6. By the time the Final ends on Saturday 13 May 2006 the player with the fewest defeats is declared the winner.
7. If you enter this competition late you will incur one defeat for each round missed
8. The winner's prize is nothing. Zilch, naught, zero, nada, sweet FA
9. There are other rules but I'll make them up as I go along
74. Everyone who enters must send me a PM saying how wonderful and great I am

Declare your team in this thread below. But hurry - you only have until 3pm!

say Leatherhead won today and met Tunbridge Wells in the next round and were then beaten. You would now have one defeat and your new team is Tunbridge Wells. The idea is that you pick a team that could go a long way and thus avoid defeats. There is an element of luck in that you can't choose who beats your team and becomes your new team - you just hope they are a good!

Bath City - lovely city, sh*t ground plonked in the less than salubrious surroundings of Twerton, twinned with The Bronx

Team Bath - sponsored by British Taxpayer
