Since the FA Cup rematch, there have been many examples of bravely killing the enemy and defeating the strong enemy. Last year, Wuhan Red Star and Suzhou Jin Fu reached the fourth round of the FA Cup as amateur teams, creating the legend of grassroots football.
In order to encourage the sportsmanship of not being afraid of strong players and daring to challenge, Yanjing Beer initiated the establishment of the FA Cup Dark Horse Award from 20 14. In 20 15, the Chinese Football Association Cup will continue to set up the Dark Horse Award. After the end of the season, a dark horse prize team will be determined through comprehensive evaluation, and Yanjing Beer will continue to reward the winning team. The Dark Horse Award is awarded once a year, and it is won by the best team among the teams that challenged the high ranking or high ranking in the FA Cup. The specific selection method is as follows:
1. Each participating team determines the team score according to the league ranking of the previous year:
A, the score of the Super League and the Chinese team from front to back is1-32;
B, all teams in the second division scored 33 points;
C. all amateur teams got 34 points.
2. In each round of China Football Association Cup competition, the winning team (including penalty winning) gets dark horse points, that is, the difference between the winning team's points and the team's points. Teams with high scores or the same scores win without dark horses.
3. In the annual competition of the Chinese Football Association Cup, among the teams with accumulated dark horse points of more than 20 points in each round, the team with the highest points won the dark horse award.
4. If more than one team meets the above conditions, then:
A, the team with low score wins the prize;
B. If the teams score the same, draw lots to determine the winning team of the Dark Horse Award.
If the accumulated dark horse points of all participating teams in that year do not reach 20 points, the dark horse prize will be vacant.
