If more than 32 teams, preliminary rounds will be played.
Open Draw.
The draw for any subsequent rounds shall be adjusted to eliminate where
possible a repeat meeting of teams.
Round 1 16 games (extra time to be played in the event of a draw)
Round 2 ”A” first round winners play each other.
8 games
“B” first round losers play each other
8 games
(more than 8 games may be required to reduce
to 16 teams)
Round 3 Winners of “A” and winners of “B”
8 games
(“Open” draw but avoid teams that met in
Round 1meeting again).
Round 4 Quarter finals

If more than 32 teams, preliminary rounds will be played.
Open Draw.
Round 1. 16 games (extra time to be played in the event of a draw)
The losers get another game against the winners. An open draw is not feasible
as it would be impossible to ensure that losing teams were not drawn against
the teams they had already played.
Round 2
Therefore the following is the suggestion
First 2 teams drawn are called Game 1 and so on.
Line them up as per below.

To arrange the next round, draw a number between 2 & 15 (incl). If say number 12 is
drawn, this will indicate that the winners of game 12 will play the losers of game 1.
The draw would then follow on as outlined below
