Change To FAI Open Draw ?

**Unreal Madrid** · 17/10/2005, 7:16 PM

First of all, I don't know how true this is but I have been told that their will be no open draw in this years FAI last 64 (out of town). I have heard that the draw is Munster based and that you would have to win the Munster section to progress. This seems a bit extreme but it could be a case that the last 4 / 6 in Munster would make the last 16 and they would then have an ''open'' draw.

It's basically a way to ensure that the Dubs will have a decent chance to win an Fai as i'm sure if you had it on a regional basis they would have at least 6 Dublin teams in the last 16 or 3 - 4 in the last 8.

Anyone know if this is true?

If it is true, it sounds like gerrymandering.

Gerrymandering is a term used to redraw rules or boundaries to give advantage to a particular organisation. Biggest example was in Northern Ireland when constituencies were gerrymandered to accomodate the Ulster Unionists to win majorities in Nationalist areas from 1922 to 1968.
