Inter-forum FA Cup Upsets Game (3rd Rd)
One-off Weekend Game
Happy new year guys and lasses! Have fun on the FA Cup Upsets game - this is now becoming a well-loved feature! For the 2nd Round we had over 120 entries, and 21 forums finally took part — amazing, but let’s beat that this time! And it’s dead easy to play, and it’s open absolutely to all …
Have a look at the paired teams for the 3rd Round on the following post - there are Premier, championship, League 1, League 2, Conference (Blue Square) Premier and even lower included on the list below. I'd like to invite you to call for FIVE matches where you see a possible upset on the cards! By upset, it must obviously be a lower league side winning (or at least drawing) against a higher league side. You haven't got to give any score at all or call a draw or win, simply guess which will be the successful 'lower tier club' or ‘minnow’ teams on the day! If you get it wrong doesn’t matter at all, you simply don’t get awarded points for that game or games — and will surely apply to all of us in some of the games.
So … how do you get points?
If in your selected games a lower league side does indeed win you have 3 points. If the lower league side force a replay then it is 1 point (doesn’t matter if they later lose the replay, just the initial game is taken into account).
But ... bonus - if you choose a real ‘upset’ — a team from a league TWO tiers OR MORE lower than their opponents (according to the levels below) then those points are DOUBLED. This is the real betting man's stuff - the more you risk with tier difference the more points you get, but there again, an upset is much less likely!! So you need to weigh things up!!
To help you, see the leagues written in after each team (in next post) to make an easier selection:
PR = premier league
CH = championship
L1 = League Division 1
L2 = League Division 2
CPr = Conference Premier
C-Lwr = lower than Conference premier level
** as an extra help, two tier (or more) differences are shown with double asterisks.
THE GAMES TO CHOOSE FROM:
Sat 5 Jan 2013
Brighton (CH) V Newcastle (PR)
Aldershot (L2) V Rotherham (L2) (prediction not valid; two teams from same league!)
Aston Villa (PR) V Ipswich (CH)
Barnsley (CH) V Burnley (CH) (prediction not valid; two teams from same league!)
** Macclesfield (CPr) V Cardiff (CH)
Blackburn (CH) V Bristol City (CH) (prediction not valid; two teams from same league!)
Bolton (CH) V Sunderland (PR)
Charlton (CH) V Huddersfield (CH) (prediction not valid; two teams from same league!)
** Crawley (L1) V Reading (PR)
Crystal Palace (CH) V Stoke (PR)
Derby (CH) V Tranmere (L1)
Fulham (PR) V Blackpool (CH)
Hull (CH) V Leyton Orient (L1)
Leeds United (CH) V Birmingham (CH) (prediction not valid; two teams from same league!)

Man City (PR) V Watford (CH)
** Middlesbrough (CH) V Hastings Utd (C-Lwr)
Millwall (CH) V Preston (L1)

** Mansfield (CPr) V Liverpool (PR)
Monday 7th January 2013
** Cheltenham (L2) V Everton (PR)
Honorary prizes: gold medal/s, silver medal/s, bronze medal/s and diploma/s of honour, for all those on the highest points totals. You play at both an individual level — for personal glory! — and for your forum; forums will be also be classed according to the average mark of its posters (but a minimum of 5 entries is required of each forum to make this a fair average).
How did the 2nd Round go? — the overall winner was Disorganised1 of the Coventry — Sky Blue Talk (incredible, scooping maximum points available as well!), with the runners-ups Royal Crisp (Reading - Royals Rendezvous) and Rhys Lighting 63 (Fulham — Friends of Fulham) also doing excellently. There were quite a group in the bronze position …
Top team forum boards were the Hemel Hempstead — Tudor Talk, followed by runners-up Barnet — The Beehive, 3rd Manchester City — MCFC Forum, 4th Swansea — Planet Swans and then in 5th spot my own board Royals Rendezvous.
Have fun - answers on this thread please — remember to simply name FIVE games where an upset might occur in your opinion (and please you all five options up, it’s in your and your forum’s interest!). CAREFUL closing time: 11.59am SATURDAY mid-day - that's because the Brighton v Newcastle game kicks off at 12.30 pm, and I need over half-an-hour of checking grace. Points and placings for this one-off weekend game will be published within 48 hours of the last game of the round to be played (Wednesday latest). In case of postponement, sorry, bad luck, you lose that game — but in case of abandonment we take the score at stopping moment as valid …
A complete record of everyone entering from every forum will be found here, and later every score total and break-down too: http://royalsrendezvous.co.uk/topic/9794689/1

Hi again,
Here are the individual results for the QPR Loft for Words forum, which I am able to forward now as no-one here has decided to include games which are scheduled for today or Monday. Entrants on the same number of points are simply in alphabetical order.

Off-the-record praise too for Tottenham’s ‘Tottenham Hotspur Unofficial Supporters Site’ who didn’t get to the minimum 5 entries required for the forum part, but who would have probably been right up there had they achieved a couple more ...
I’d like to take the opportunity to say ALL these forums in the fun competition are genuinely good for chat/banter, so if any of you are looking to get the opposition fan point of view during the rest of the season, do look to these first!! I am signed up to all of them, so can vouch first-hand that these forums appear the best sites to me for the clubs that they represent ... and even a little plug is in place to Royals Rendezvous as the organizers of the game, who with a large moderation team of a dozen do certainly open their arms out to all fans of all clubs!
Unfortunately, I’m on an international (music) tour in the period leading up to and including the 4th Round so probably won’t have the mountain of hours necessary to do this task next round, and the 5th Round we never do it because we will hardly see any surprises, so ... here’s to the 1st Round next season !!
