draw is made notice shall be given to each Club of the name of its opponent, and the date and hour when the tie shall be played. All ties in each round shall be played on one date and at such hours as the Council may determine.
14. Unless otherwise mutually arranged, the Club which is in each instance first drawn in the ballot shall have choice of ground. Except as provided by Rule 29, a Club shall not be allowed to select a ground other than that on which it is accustomed to play without the consent of the opposing Club. In the case of replayed matches, the Club which had not the choice of ground for the first match shall have the choice of ground for the second match. If the ground of the Club having choice of ground is considered unsuitable for a Cup Tie, the opposing club may appeal to the Council within three days of the receipt of the official intimation of the draw. Such appeal must be accompanied by a fee of two guineas, which shall be forfeited if the appeal is not sustained. The Council may order the match to be played on the ground of the appealing Club, or on a neutral ground. If such appeal be not sustained, the complaining Club may be called upon to pay the expenses incurred in deciding the appeal. Each Club must take every precaution to keep its ground in playing condition, and if necessary, either Club may require the referee to visit the ground two hours before the advertised time to kick off, and decide as to its fitness for play. Clubs shall not mutually arrange to play a match in lieu of a Cup Tie. If a match is played to a conclusion, it must be a Cup Tie, but if from any cause a match is not completed, it must be re -played the full time of one hour and a half. Postponed matches shall be played on the following Saturday, unless the Clubs agree to an earlier date. This Rule does not apply to Semi-final and Final Ties.[1]
15. The duration of each match shall be one hour and a half, and the referee shall allow for time wasted or lost through accident or other cause.
16. In all matches preceding the Semi-final Ties the following provisions shall apply. An extra half-hour may be played in matches which result in a draw,[2] provided the two Clubs mutually agree and intimate their decision to the referee before
