| Happy Cup 2026/27 1st Round - Deadline Friday 6th November 19.30 13:38 - Oct 25 with 2507 views | mfb_cufc |
We currently have 23 members, when 32 would be ideal for a knockout competition. There is no mathmatical way to get the numbers down to 16 for the 2nd Round. I have decided the fairest way (rather than have byes) is to get the number down to 8 for the quarter-finals instead. This will be done by having 10 games of 2, and 1 game of 3, with the two highest scorers going through, in the 1st Round. This will give us 12 members for the 2nd Round, where there will be 4 games of 3 with the two highest scorers going through to the quarter-finals.
There will be replays for drawn games. The tie-breaker rule will only apply for any replays. Each round will take place at the same time as the FA Cup, and will contain 10 fixtures from that competition. Any replays will be 10 matches from the following Saturday's League programme. FA Cup replays will be scrapped from the first round onwards in the 2026/27 competition. All games will be settled on 90 minute result.
There will be fresh draw for each round, and here is the draw for the 1st Round, made by Mrs mfb.
