What happens in the event of a draw..are you out or does it include the replay ?
Rules
You pick a different team each round and as long as your selected teams keep winning you stay in the game. The important thing is you cannot pick the same twice. So if you pick Manchester United one week that's them gone for the rest of the game for you. Once your selected team loses or draws you're out of the game. Any players that are still in the game at the 6th Round (Quarter Final stage) will have their selected teams reset. There will be one FA Cup edition per season so the game will not re-start unlike the Premier League & Championship versions.
In the event of match involving a team you have selected being postponed or cancelled, you will continue to the next round, however that team will no longer be available for selection. Should the game be played before the conclusion of the current edition and the selected team fails to win, you are eliminated.
Should you forget (or are unable) to make your selection in any round, you will automatically be assigned the first team that you have not previously selected in alphabetical order. Whenever possible I will send reminders via trust email to players that have yet to make their selection within 24 hours of the deadline.
If you fail to select in three consecutive rounds you will automatically be eliminated.

So the replays don't count ? which is what I was after clarity on
I wouldn't think so. If replays were taken into account then I'd expect it to be stated in the rules.
Noss?
You get knocked out unless your team wins. Necessary in a competition like this anyway to whittle down the contestants.
One thing that probably does need clarification however is in rounds that don't have a replay, whether extra time and penalties count. If we still have players left in the final for example it would be a bit of a damp squib for them all to get knocked out in the event of extra time (and of course in theory, the latter stages of a cup competition should involve closer games...)
Norwich for me in 4th round please if I forget

To clarify, the result is after 90 minutes so it doesn't include extra time, penalties or replays. If your selected team draws or loses you are out of the game.
However, if we still have players left for the final then we can include extra time and penalties if required. If there is more than one person that has chosen the winning team then we'll have to look at an alternative way of deciding the result of the game, for example players will predict the time of the first goal before kick off.
Cheers all.

What if the final ended up 0-0 at the end of extra time??
