December 2023 December 2023 Scottish Cup preliminary rounds 1893–94 Scotland 162 131 811 1892–93 1894–95 The preliminary rounds for the 1893–94 Scottish Cup took place between 30 August and 11 November 1893 to decide the 16 teams that would join the 16 exempt clubs in the first round. A total of 162 teams entered the preliminary rounds which were open to all members of the Scottish FA. After the completion of the four preliminary rounds which saw 811 goals scored across 131 matches, Airdrieonians, Albion Rovers, Arbroath, Battlefield, Black Watch, Cambuslang, Cowlairs, East Stirlingshire, Grangemouth, Hurlford, Inverness Thistle, Kilmarnock, Orion, Port Glasgow Athletic, Vale of Leven and 5th Kirkcudbright RV advanced to the first round. Format Alongside the four semi-finalists from the previous season, 12 further teams were voted to be exempt from competing in the preliminary rounds. The names of the remaining clubs were placed into lots according to their districts and drawn into pairs. The home team would be the first team drawn unless only one of the clubs in a pair had a private ground. In the event of a draw, the second team drawn would have the choice of ground for the replay. This process was repeated for the second and third preliminary rounds. All competing clubs were placed into a single lot for the fourth preliminary round.https://www.scottishfootballmuseum.org.uk/football-for-all/digital-archive/scottish-fa-annual-1893-94/ Scottish FA Annual 1893-94 Scottish Football Association Hay Nisbet & Co Glasgow 1893 3 January 2024 25–27, 49 Calendar +1893–94 Scottish Cup preliminary rounds calendarRoundDateTiesClubsOriginalByesReplaysFirst preliminary round2 September 18937946162 → 83Second preliminary round23 September 1893403783 → 43Third preliminary round14 October 1893195943 → 26note No team was eliminated in two ties which resulted in drawn replays and all four teams advanced.Fourth preliminary round4 November 1893106326 → 16 Source: Teams At a committee meeting on 30 May 1893, the 16 teams to be exempt from the preliminary rounds were decided.
