How does FA Trophy work?

FA Trophy is a knockout tournament, in which a team will be immediately expelled once they lose a game. The whole competition comprises hundreds of football clubs and numerous rounds before the final match. Currently, there are two preliminary rounds, three qualifying rounds, five rounds proper, quarterfinals, semifinals, and the final round.

Every match is drawn randomly and teams will be divided into regional groups in the qualifying rounds and first round proper to reduce teams’ travel costs.  

In case a match is tied, it will be re-played with extra time and penalty shootouts.

These teams were the winners of seasons 1973, 1976, 1977; 1971, 1983, 1989; and 1994, 1995, 1997 respectively.
