The remaining first round ties will be played over the weekend of February 14-15.

Twenty clubs drawn from the community game and Armed Forces will be looking to progress to the third round when all 14 League 1 teams enter the competition. All second round games will be played over the weekend of February 14 and February 15.

Are we entering a round later than usual?

Did I read that we enter at the 4th Round this time?

You did Alan.

Championship clubs enter in the 4th Round (weekend of 20/22 March) and are joined in Round 5 (17/19 April) by the SL clubs who finished 9th - 12th in 2014.

Thank you.

Pretty unlikely we'll face an amateur team in that case then.

Yep but there's an extra round so we're in it at the same time as usual really.

Round 1: 40 Amateurs.
Round 2: 20 Winners
Round 3: 10 Winners + 14 League 1 clubs =24 teams
Round 4: 12 Winners + 12 Championship = 24 teams
Round 5: 12 Winners + Bottom 4 of Super League = 16 Teams
Round 6: 8 Winners + Top 8 of Super League = 16 Teams.
Quarter Finals
Semi Finals
Final.

Does anyone know if they're seeding it this year so in Round 3 the amateurs have to play a League 1 club (like they used to) or have they decided it doesn't matter because at most only 2 could get to play Super League in R4 & only 1 a top 8 Super League Club without having defeated another professional club? Presume that was the point of the seeding previously, forcing them to play a lower professional club froe the Super League came in.
