Also, please note that the rules on the Knockout Phase read as follows:
- At this stage in the tournament, a team can be matched up against any of the other remaining teams
- The home advantage doesn’t exist in this round, as it cancels out due to an aggregate score.
- Teams will play each other over two legs with the highest aggregate score advancing to the next round
- If matches are tied over two legs then the team who has scored higher points in the away fixture wins.
- In the unlikely event of teams still tied, the team with the most goals over the 2 weeks wins (Penalty shootout)
- In the unlikely event of teams still tied, the better ranked team wins.

FFS FA Cup
Over the past year and a half we’ve been happy and fortunate to organize several cups and competitions for the members of the FFS community. You’ve experienced a wide variety of competitions ranging from the Champions League and Europa League to the Euros and from the The Leagues to the ICC and the TWS. However our biggest regret has always been that we haven’t been able to include a large enough portion of the community. Each competition we’ve been pained when we’ve had to turn down members of the FFS community because there were only so many spots. So this time around we’re glad to announce a competition that will involve a far greater number of community members – up to 737 people in fact – that mirrors our favorite Domestic Tournament in England.
