Excellent spot! Or crumb? I am not sure what the total prize money is as I am not sure how many total clubs enter. Perhaps you can do a statto comparison to the FA CUP.

Worth £98,250.00 in total to us if we win it . . . assuming my adding up is right!

I differ but then I'm not quite sure what happens in the early rounds. From your figures it seems that we can't have entered until the 5th set of rounds.

On the simple assumption there are twice as many teams in each preceding round then the final is the 11th round so 2^11 = 2048. This gives the winning team a total of £111,200 from a total fund of £5,488,400. But if as in the FA Cup various tranches come in at different stages then the 2048 is too high.

And a share of the gate receipts from a Wembley final.

I'm assuming crowds will be allowed when the final is eventually played in 2023.

We entered at the 3rd round proper, there were three qualifying rounds and two proper rounds before we entered.

Let's hope so, will be able to travel down in our Bladerunner floating cars by then!

That's too clever for my spreadsheet skills, maybe Elite can make himself useful now he's contributing to this thread. He must be good at combinations and permutations etc.

Isn't it just a simple addition as ncfcog said?

I also get £98,250 as the total of the winner's prizes for the six rounds we would play in.
