Replays were played on Monday the 13th, Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th of August. The relative immediacy of the replays was due to there only being two weeks between consecutive rounds of the competition. Of the 200 teams who progressed to the preliminary round, 50 were from the lowest tier represented in the competition.[4]
